Kobold Press has launched the Monster Vault 2 Kickstarter campaign, offering a new collection of content for Tales of the Valiant and Dungeons & Dragons 5E campaigns. The campaign has already surpassed its $75,000 funding goal, with over $142,000 pledged by nearly 2,000 backers. The project will run until February 7.
Monster Vault 2 introduces over 300 new monsters, including various demons and undead. The book also introduces “monster bundles”, which are groups of related creatures (such as frost giants and winter wolves) designed to create balanced encounters for any tier of play.
Backers at the $29 level or higher will receive the Field Guide to Monster Harvesting, a companion volume detailing how to gather and use materials from creatures featured in Monster Vault 1 and 2. These materials can be used to enhance spells and provide benefits during gameplay. Examples include using void essence to increase a spell’s effectiveness or a unicorn horn to improve healing. Additional stretch goals will expand the guide with more materials and items.
Monster Vault 2 will be available in print, PDF, and virtual tabletop (VTT) formats. Both regular and limited editions are offered. Additionally, backers will receive an STL file to 3D print a Sporeborn monster from the original Monster Vault.
