For our Kickstarter for A Bestiary of Enchanted England, we issued a Halloween backer challenge: if we get to 50 backers by the end of today, we’ll release a spooky creature from the upcoming book under the Open Game License (OGL). Our backers rose to the challenge, so we’re proud to present the near-final version of the Bugbear by Mark Lawford! Free for the community to share, modify, and redistribute under the OGL.

We had previously teased the Bugbear back in February 2022. You may find it interesting to compare how the text has evolved and how we’ve represented the creature using Fate Condensed rules.
