Awesome selection of adventures. -----------------

Enjoying the list of magic and subclasses. I will try and convince my DM to allow this in the group.

This is pretty cool. I wish it gave more detailed instructions for creating your own multi-tiered boss fights, but the examples it gives provides plenty of inspiration for homebrewing your own boss fights.

5 stars for a cool and useful idea, minus 1 star for not having more actionable instruction on how to do this for your own bosses.

bought this book a couple weeks ago, since my kids and I have been playing D&D more frequently and before i just did fetch quests and monster hunting. the book really made it go from "roll for initiative.. roll for damage ..." to "you are sneaking up to the goblin, you ready your crossbow,  roll for stealth,  the goblin hears the click of the trigger being set.. turns around and looks at you, roll for dexterity, you successfully silence the goblin." it has brough the stories from a basic dice roll game to where i have my kids tell me how they are going to do the task and i adjust my rolls in my head on theor description. Also improved my note taking, monster encounters and not be afraid to really cause destruction to the party .. felt like the book was much needed to give myself a broad understanding of how to keep my preteens/teens engaged enough to where there phones are off, and minimal dice stacking is going on and everyone is paying attention and acting more in character/RP

One of the best campaign setting. I really loved it. Sadly, KP opted to publish updated version for 5E rather than PF2E. I feel it was a bit of a betrayal for those who supported w/PF1E & PF2. Since 4E, I just do not support WotC products on any level even 3rd Party Creators as you still need main books. I would rather support any other system than WotC. Ah, well, WotC, OGL, & ORC - maybe lesson learned.

Kobold Press has done some great work on their world. Sadly, they lost me when they shifted to 5E instead of P2E for their revised edition... to bad WotC OGL and ORC... I have been a neer WotC since 4E - so... will not be buying 5E material even from KP - ah well, say no more, say no more!

This is absolutely predatory, you are required to buy other books (Creature Codex, Tome of Beasts, etc.) to actually enjoy some of the tables in this book, this isn't mentioned AT ALL in the product description. I really wish I had not bought this. It is a shame because it looks like a good adventure.

If you are bored with your own campaign pick this book up for more boring exploration. I would use this as a encounter input uto spice up an existing or planned visit in a running adventure. If players are tired of encountering Dryads and Pixie dust protecting a forest and blocking a path to a location the PC'S need to explore, change up story to include something from this book for a surprise. Or maybe a destination plane hop is needed to bypass the forest gaurdians.The book is interesting as is Planescspe material but it's also boring. Shelve book until you can figure a way to incorporate material in own campaign, or just use Dark Roads and Golden Hells as a new break ftom bypassing that forest blockade.

Overall an excellent book full of challenging monsters. I've gotten quite a bit of use out of the creatures in this Tome (most of which are not actually beasts, but all different creature types). The new art is also very nicey done, though there are a few pieces of art that don't really match the descriptions in the text. If I have any criticism of the monsters is that they hit harder than their CRs would indicate, and there are several repetitions of the archetype of a monster that pretends to be a beautiful woman but is actually something horrible in disguise. Granted this is a common archetype in fantasy, but when there are three in the same book it can feel excessive.

The book itself is readable, stat blocks are formatted poorly, often stretching awkwardly across column breaks or between pages. If you're getting this on a VTT that shouldn't be a problem, though.

Would be much better with a cover! I'm nt sure who did the proof reading but my pdf version is missing a cover! I hope the physical copy isn't lacking a cover.

They sokved the issue!
