Monster Kingdoms, the latest game in the Earthbane Cycle, is now LIVE on Backerkit!
Monster Kingdoms portrays a world split into 13 realms, governed by a crumbling, ruined empire. Darkness has consumed the hearts and spirits of the people in these realms, called the Monster Kingdoms, leading them down the roads of destructive, selfish philosophies and into following single-minded, hateful autocrats. As the empire’s degraded, the Monster Kingdoms that once paid fealty to it rebel against their former masters. At the same time, one of the kingdoms has emerged as a beacon of hope in the darkness, drawing monsters to invade, enslave, torment, and slay champions of light. Uprisings of light occur within every Monster Kingdom, threatening the horrific status quo.
In Monster Kingdoms, you play a creature of darkness. You may be vampiric magus, or feyborn harlequin. You might be a warrior gauntlet, an orc cultist, a druidic elf, or a flame-spitting dragonkin. You can play a wildly creative goblinoid, a chaotic dwarf, a fierce ice elementor, or a shame-filled fiend. Your characters can be anything from hulking dreadnauts to disturbing mentalists, and many Mantles in between.
The primary purpose behind this crowdfunding campaign is to enable Onyx Path to create a fully-developed PDF and two hardcover versions of Monster Kingdoms. With your support we create a standard full-color hardcover book, which will be sent out as a reward to backers and also made available to game and hobby stores through Onyx Path’s distribution partners. In addition, we want to create a limited edition deluxe version, with special cover design featured on a leatherette cover and a bound-in bookmark that’ll be available only through a special pledge tier.
