Multiple, massive, full-color hardcover tomes describing 400+ monsters, each in a wide variety of difficulties/CRs, for 5E/Pathfinder.

So much has happened already in 2019! I've posted an update on IGS activity on our website; check it out if you'd like.
Thank you again for being a supporter of some of the most ambitious, detailed, and dedicated indie RPG content in the world!
Onward!
Just a quick note to announce that the Villainous Compendium book has been completed. Still awaiting a few pieces of artwork, but both the Pathfinder and 5E editions are fully laid out and ready to go! VC turned out to be 808 pages all told for the PFRPG edition, and 604 for the 5E edition.
Full focus now turns to the long-awaited Druid Enclave. Following that, full focus will turn to laying out Aquilae: Bestiary of the Realm. I realize that many backers entitled to one or both of those have been waiting a LONG time, but they're coming up soon now!
Onward!
Quick note that the Villainous Compendium is nearly complete; should be done by the end of the month at the latest.
Druid Enclave is up next, and is the sole piece that stands in the way of being 100% focused on laying out ABRE. I have so many notes and sketches that it will hopefully proceed swiftly.
Druid Enclave backers have also been waiting a long time for their product. As part of that project and commitment, I'll be publishing a small spin-off of content called Artifacts & Artifice 3: Druid Enclave. You'll see a quickie, small KS for that later this week. The NPC content and art for 12 items is already complete, so that will be a swift execution.
As a backer of the Bestiary books, you are automatically entitled to a free PDF of AA3. Part of my way of saying thank you for the wait! So no pledge etc. is necessary.
(If you're interested in a hardcopy, feel free to pledge at the discounted rate for those entitled to the PDF already.)
Good news here: The original total was 1,200 monsters. That's now ballooned to 1,600 monsters. I'm stopping there for now. I've also completed the automated conversion of all 1,600 of those monsters (that's 6400 statblocks!) into 5E rules format.
My first task once I complete DE will be to finish writing up the FlexAI rules; I'll distribute a copy of those as an advance PDF as soon as they're done so you can see where that's headed.
Once DE is finished--say, end of February, hopefully!--it's 100% layout for ABRE until it's completed.
I realize that ABRE has taken a great deal longer than originally intended, and I appreciate your patience. I can absolutely guarantee that the final result will be an enormous asset and worth the wait, but I can also appreciate the eagerness to receive it.
I've also been busy with statblocking all-new monsters for Monsters of Aquilae. A ton of progress here with more than 700 possible monsters outlined. I'll pare that down to a reasonable volume and start to stat things up soon in the background of other work.
Onward!
