Basic Roleplaying Creatures comes out this week. I'm not going to say it has all the world's monsters (boom tish) but it sure does have a lot, and these beasts are good to for any @chaosium.bsky.social game you play. My blog post reveals the table of contents: scary monsters, with some super creeps.
