Our first full-length sourcebook for Magonomia® is in the works: the Bestiary of Enchanted England.

Edit, February 8, 2022: I added additional creatures: the Knocker, Tombwarden, Shadowbeasts, and Walking Stones. Also, a few taglines have been updated.

(short summary) A book of lore and plot hooks for 24 creatures from English folklore, with original black-and-white illustrations, for the Magonomia® RPG.

The Bestiary of Enchanted England is a supplement for Magonomia®, the tabletop RPG of Renaissance wizardry, which is based on the Fate™ engine. It describes 24 faeries, fantastic beasts, and spirits from the folklore and literature of 16th-century England. These aren’t primarily combat opponents: the emphasis is on lore and plot hooks to help you weave these creatures into wondrous game sessions.

The Bestiary of Enchanted England includes:

• Afanc, The Unseen Beast Below

• Black Annis, Stealer of Children

• Bugbear, the Thing Under the Bed

• Dragon lore (no statistics; there are several dragons in the Magonomia core book)

• Eala, a Haunted Musical Instrument

• Elves, the People Under the Hills

• Grim, the King of Ghosts

• The Haid, Faerie Thieves

• Hobyah, a Gang of Wicked Elves

• Kenidjack, the Bright-Eyed Demon of Cornwall

• The Laidly Toad Queen

• Malkin, Bipedal Cats (similar to Puss in Boots)

• The Merchicken of Portland (it’s a real legend!)

• Milcha, Queen of the Enchanted Isle

• The Questing Beast, Creature of Arthurian Legend

• Satyr, Spirits of the Wild

• Scitalis, the Wondrous Serpent

• Shadowbeasts

• Tombwarden

• Troll

• Urban Wisp

• Walking Stones

• Waelcyrian, Spirits of Ill Omen

• Whale Eater, a Dragon of the Sea

The names and taglines for each creature are subject to change, but these are the creatures that will be included.

The book will be a 6”x9” (US trade size) hardcover, approximately 120 pages. Electronic versions (PDF, EPUB, and Kindle) will also be available.

The creative team consists of:

• Authors: Timothy Ferguson, Mark Lawford, Christian Jensen Romer

• Illustrators: Steven Bachan, Teresa Guido, Jeff Koch, Angela Taylor, Colin Throm
