Kobold Press is offering another book of monsters for 5th Edition, Creature Codex, to be released in August or September.

The Creature Codex is a follow-up to Kobold Press’ successful Tome of Beasts.  This book will feature more than 350 new monsters suitable for use with the 5th Edition rules set, produced under the Open Gaming License.  To help fill out the volume, the company solicited submissions for possible monster ideas from those who helped back the project’s Kickstarter campaign.  The hardcover book will be MSRP $49.99.

A pack of cardboard standees depicting monsters from the book will also be offered, with an MSRP of $34.99.

Production of the Creature Codex was funded through a Kickstarter campaign that attracted $248,771 in pledged support from 4,166 backers (an average of $59.72 / backer) when it ran earlier this month.  Backer fulfillment is planned for August, with release into the trade to follow.

Last year, Kobold Press began publishing updated 5th Edition versions of its Midgard Campaign Setting (see “Kobold Press Updates ‘Midgard’”).
