Tome Show Productions Prime

On a recent Tome Episode Erik Scott De Bie and Matt Goetz talked about running aquatic games...as part of that we also discussed re-making an old monster, the Anguillian. Little did I know that when I asked them for a few stat blocks to include in the show notes that they'd send along a document full of lore, tactics, and five new creatures fully stated out and ready to run completely with some completely awesome, totally publish-worthy artwork by Matt's wife, Roxxy. I decided to spend a little time turning it into a nice looking PDF, manipulate the artwork a little bit. And give it all to you. I hope you enjoy this half as much as I did. Please let us know if you run them in your game. And on a side note, if you need help figuring out how to run aquatic games, don't just check out Tome ep 177 where we discussed it, but also check out the At-Will site which has a series of articles about running aquatic games.
