Mechanical Monsters: Clockworks & Cyborgs for DnD 5E and Pathfinder RPG

Early Preview Copies of Alien Bestiary 5E are here! And A Tale of Two Seas KS coming April 23!
7 months ago – Fri, Apr 12, 2024 at 05:18:29 PM

Our printer has sent over 6 copies of the awesome Alien Bestiary 5E and they look fabulous! As always, we are pulling the names of six lucky backers to receive these early bird copies of the book. The random number generator has spoken, and it says that backers Moss, Schreur, Pierce, Liessner, Baas, & Rigney will have something special in their mailboxes very soon!Your labels are printed, and we'll drop off your books at the post office tomorrow! 

Our big shipment of the rest of the books is currently scheduled to arrive in port on June 3rd, and after probably a week or two in customs clearance they'll be trucked to us here at LG HQ and we can start sending them out to all of you! 

We appreciate your patience with getting this book up and out the door. Having to redo the entire book was not something I had planned when we added it to our Kickstarter project, but here we are and the book is going to be a terrific addition to your campaign.

As we finally get to close the book on this project, we have a new one ready to launch soon... though a little later than planned. We are pushing back the start of our A Tale of Two Seas Kickstarter for D&D 5E, Pathfinder 1E, and Pathfinder 2E by a week to April 23! It's tax time in the USA and we've just been buried in paperwork which has slowed down some things, on top of our layout artist going on a family trip. We've just sent over the final Word doc for Mediterranean Monsters for Pathfinder Second Edition and will be assembling the Pathfinder RPG version as soon as our tax filing is complete! We hope you'll sign on to check out this new project and we hope you love it! 

Alien Bestiary (5E) import dates! And the Arcforge QUICK-starter ends next week!
8 months ago – Wed, Mar 13, 2024 at 01:24:46 AM

Hi all,

After an arduous journey of reconstruction and many cycles of proofing and review, we are pleased to let you know that the Alien Bestiary 5E is at long last on the presses and printing! Here are the dates for your reference for getting this book on its way to us:

• 6 advance copies sent to us: 2024-04-08
• Final confirmation to ship: 2024-04-12
• RTS (Ready to Ship) date: 2024-04-16
• ETD HK (Estimated Time of Departure, Hong Kong): 2024-04-22
• ETA WA98023 (Estimated Time of Arrival to Legendary Games): approx. 2024-06-03

There's always the potential of a port delay with customs clearance, but that's only happened to us once so far, so fingers crossed that all goes smoothly! When the 6 advance copies arrive, we'll randomly select 6 backers to receive those books and ship them out. The remainder of orders that include the Alien Bestiary 5E will ship in their entirety once those books arrive. All orders that don't include the Alien Bestiary have shipped already (well, the last of those batches is downstairs right now waiting to go to the post office), unless you are one of the handful of folks who didn't fill out their survey - we can't send your books unless you get us your information! Check your Backerkit and let us know! 

Meanwhile, for any of our PF1 fans, we hope you swing by to check out our Arcforge Universe Kickstarter going on right now! We've hit our first two stretch goals with just one left to go to fill out this sci-fi/fantasy setting steeped in hypertechnology, psionics, and chaos magic! Get new character classes, feats, spells, gear, rules for mechs and power armor, nanotech, and tons of new monsters and templates! in the Arcforge Players' Compendium and Arcforge Universe Cyclopedia! It all ends next week so check it out and share the link your friends and fellow gamers, and as always thanks for your support for all that we do at Legendary Games!

Hi all,

We are delighted to keep processing print orders for you and look forward to receiving the print plotters for the Alien Bestiary Revised Edition, but we also wanted to give a shout-out to our Pathfinder RPG fans who supported Mechanical Monsters about the Arcforge Universe Kickstarterthat launched today! This incredible collection marries high-tech and high fantasy in a pair of expansive books for players and GMs comprising over 600 pages of vividly detailed world lore and player options galore in the Arcforge Players Compendium and Arcforge Universe Cyclopedia! 

You'll find new character classes and over 200 archetypes, feats, spells, psionic powers, along with expansive mech rules, technomancy, and so much more, including beloved 3rd-party system support for psionics, akashic veils, and new spheres for both Spheres of Power and Spheres of Might! The Arcforge Universe opens up a system-spanning smorgasbord of nations and locations for planetary, interstellar, or cosmic adventure, including nearly 100 new monsters and creature templates from roving wasteland hordes to mind-melting chaos lords! We hope you check it out today! 

First wave of Mechanical Monsters on their way! And pre-print samples for Alien Bestiary!
9 months ago – Mon, Feb 26, 2024 at 01:57:11 PM

Hi all,

We got our big shipment in last Thursday including Mechanical Monsters as well as other books and cards, and after organizing this weekend we've sent out the first wave of shipments - sending out bundles of both Mechanical Monsters and Mediterranean Monsters for backers who happened to get both of them! We're plowing through our shipping supplies and restocking padded envelopes and mailers as we go, and we'll have more books on their way to you soon! 

In addition, we're very pleased to report that our printer has notified us that they are sending the "page plotters" and digital proofs for Alien Bestiary 5E. This is a loose-leaf printout of the entire book to do a final visual check, plus 16 pages of high-gloss pages for checking color. Those are on their way to me by FedEx, and once I approve those (and they make any last-minute corrections), the books will be ready to print at last! It's been quite an odyssey with the Alien Bestiary, something I thought would be a quick-and-easy reprint of the original book and turned out to be anything but. That said, it's great to have the rebuilt book on final approach at last and I hope you love it when it arrives! 

Books arriving next week, and Mechanical Monsters & Heroes Quick-Starter final 24 hours!

Hi all,

Our ship is scheduled to arrive in port next Monday, February 12th! We look forward to receiving them in hand probably 1-2 weeks later, depending on how long customs clearance takes, but we are excited to get your Mechanical Monsters books coming your way! 

Our copies of the Alien Bestiary 5E will be coming in our next shipment from the printer. It took some time to rebuild the entire file from the ground up, but it's finalized and in their hands. Our printer is currently shut down for Lunar New Year for the next week or so but will be back at it and ready to move ahead with ozalids and print proofs when they reopen. One benefit of this rebuild process is that it has allowed us to make our layout structure much more efficient, as the original version had a ton of wasted blank space and oversized art placement. The greater skill of the new layout person has allowed us to reduce the page count considerably on the Alien Bestiary but without sacrificing any of the actual content. Every monster, all the stats, all still there and ready for you, but a lot less wasted space! 

Last but not least, we wanted to remind you that February 8th is the FINAL DAY of our Mechanical Monsters & Heroes Quick-Starter! If you missed out on any of the books from the original Mechanical Monsters project for 5E or PF1, or if you want to take advantage of new VTT options, or if you want to check out the new Pathfinder Second Edition version of Mechanical Monsters and the companion PF2 Mechanical Heroes book, please check it out and help spread the word in the final 24 hours!
