Annomicon - Free

Welcome to the Annomicon(Free)!

Hand-illustrated monsters and magical artifacts with emphasis of encouraging engaging roleplay scenarios and hooks while also providing fun memorable combat encounters!

Each one of these magical baubles and fascinating creatures was created, illustrated and written with love, care and attention to their respective system of play, Including both Dungeon and Dragons Fifth Edition(5e+A5e*) and Pathfinder Second Edition(Pf2e) respectively.

The creatures in the Annomicon are designed to create fun and engaging combat encounters with brand new, fresh ideas. They also introduce a fresh take on existing monster archetypes, providing more thematic alternatives to the repetitive task of slaying goblins for the hundredth time.

Additionally, there are variants of these creatures to enrich and create a more complete and engaging ecosystem for thematic areas and biomes.

Some examples below! =)

The Rotmoles

The Mossgills

Critters are different from creatures in the Annomicon as they are designed to breathe life into whatever setting you might be running, primarily focused on enriching the vibe and experience rather than combat encounters. They range from unique slimes for dungeons to special lizards with unique stories and mechanics, and even evil wandering stumps haunted by spirits in graveyards!

Just like creatures, many critters also have variants!

Some examples below!

Slimes

Lizards

Not all critters are cute though! some are eerie and are meant for darker more nefarious places.

Alongside the creatures and their lore, some feature boss creatures, categorized under creatures but less frequent and are not always a higher CR/Level. These include complementary boss creatures with their own lore that ties in with existing creatures or critters, as in the example given above.

The Rotmole Queen

The Mossfather

Some bosses don't have specifically themed creatures or critters stemming from them as they are more of a governing or solidary creature. such as the Binder.

The Annomicon also contains a variety of magical items, each corresponding to a specific thematic currently being worked on. This includes weapons, consumables, equipment, and even scrolls!

For both in-table implementation and VTT (Virtual Tabletop), the Annomicon creatures and critters have tokens that were hand-made with special drawn masks to allow for precise pop-out token effects. This makes each creature stand out on the battlefield, with some even hand-edited with redrawn and adjusted areas to fit within tokens better!

To aid in implementing things on the fly, there is a unique Tactics section in all newer monsters, which will be added retroactively to older monsters later on!
