Hey Adventurers, We’re back with another look behind the curtain, this time with something a little smaller… significantly more damp... and maybe a bit sticky. Not everythin...

Inside the Vault: From Idea to Table - Update 1

Hey Adventurers, We thought we’d start pulling back the curtain a bit and showing how some of the creatures in Vault of Monsters actually came together. One monster at a tim...

The Vault of Monsters is a chunky paperback, a little over 100 pages, packed with original creatures and drop-in encounters. Built for 5e, written for busy GMs, it's the kind of book you'll keep within arm's reach. Clear stats, usable lore, tidy tactics, plus selected battlemaps!

Unique Monsters: Discover unique creatures from the sinister Crypt Stalker to the enigmatic Puddle Jumper and many more.

Detailed Lore: Each entry includes Monster Lore, adding depth to your encounters.

Dynamic Artwork: Our Artist, Nick Ashton of Chicken Monster, has brought each monster to life with stunning illustrations that spark the imagination and set the scene for epic battles.

Balanced Mechanics: Meticulously playtested stats and abilities ensure that each monster offers a fair but challenging encounter for players of all levels.

Ready to run encounters: Unique Encounters for those monsters in a drop-in format, with clear objectives, twists, outcomes, optional complications, plus safety flags and content notes where they help.

Pledges start from around £5, jump in and help us crack open the Vault. As the total climbs, we unlock stretch goals, more monsters, extra maps, and tasty little upgrades that make your game nights.

Want the rest of our library?

Grab them as add-ons. The Jeff Paradox, Moo, The Blood Paradox, and the full Catalogue of Chaos collection are all on the shelf. Mix and match what you need, build your bundle, keep the PDFs for quick prep and the books for the table. Back what you'll actually use, we'll do the graft and get it to you.

We want stretch goals to make the campaign richer without making fulfilment a pain.

So as the funding total climbs, we'll unlock extras that add real value to the project. That means digital bonus content, extra encounters, battlemap packs, printable tokens, upgraded presentation, or other additions that deepen the Vault and give backers a little more to play with and if we get high enough we have a Daggerheart Compatible edition in the works!

Driftforge Games, the small British outfit behind The Catalogue of Chaos and Moo. We make playful, punchy TTRPG stuff with strong table usability. Also the folks from the comedy D&D podcast Roll Britannia.

Vault of Monsters contains no AI-generated artwork. All artwork in the project is 100% human-made by Nick Ashton of Chicken Monster. We have not used AI art in this campaign and do not plan to use it in the book or related materials. We believe in supporting real artists and properly commissioning human creative work.
