Hello everyone! Round 1, match 1 is complete and the winner was...

Glass Elemental! It advances to the quarter-finals, as shown on graphic below.

Now before we dive into the next fight, some quick updates!

Another stretch goal cleared! 12 backer-submitted monster slots are now unlocked! Start brainstorming your submissions!

Livestream on Wednesday! We'll talk about the project in general and a bit about How to Write Even Better Adventures! Mark your calendar for Wednesday 9am Pacific / Noon Eastern!

Now, we're pleased to announce the next bout...

You had to pay for the whole seat, but you’re only going to use the edge! The second bout of Monster Madness pits two colossal creatures in a consummate clash!

Screaming into combat comes the Misalvras! Not only will this draconic entity unleash its sonic attack on foes, but the confusion gas will disorient opponents long enough for it to rend anything to bits.

And it will need all of those abilities to deal with the Goblinspawn! Looking like multiple monsters at once, the Goblinspawn is a single beast with a dangerous bite and powerful tentacles, so the Misalvras’ best bet is to stay out of reach. If these two get in close, then it is anyone’s game!

Let’s watch the mayhem in the center of the arena!
