Not Undead, not an Elemental, not a Demon, so not on my todo list.

What about dragons? In the previous printing of HARP, dragons were in the core book. I am fairly certain I heard something about dragons being in the Beastiary as they are no longer in the core book. Thank you.

There is an entire chapter on Dragons in Bestiary. That chapter has already been written by John Duffield.

Nicholas,

Will there be any information on elemental or demonic half-breeds/blood talents?  Such as the monstrous templates from Cyradon?

There are elemental and demonic heritage talents for use by player-characters. There is advice on making creatures elemental.

Hi folks !
If there are demons, angels (or other good oriented planar creatures) will be in the new bestiary too?

Good-oriented planar creatures will potentially appear in HARP Beyond the Veil.

HARP Beyond the Veil is the future religious and divine sourcebook for the fantasy line.

Hi folks !
When the Bestiary will be finished ?
I've got the old bestiary (HARP version of 2003). The new bestiary will have got more monsters hidden in the pages ?

I won't be able to get back to my chunk of the work until I have cleared a new teaching module at work.

It will have many more monsters than the original.

I hate statting high-level Undead. Lich complete. Folkways layout draft has arrived so need to attend to that before dealing with Vampires and Wraiths.

Looking forward to both of these products, but I must admit the Bestiary is on the top of the list - I need it to make xenos for my HARP SF game  :hal:

Question: are the new beast/creature creation guidelines/rules vastly different from what appears in the old Monsters: a field guide?

Nicholas,

I know you have been getting asked this a lot, and I understand you all are busy.  But can you give us an estimate when some of the new HARP Fantasy products may be released, such as the Bestiary, Something Wicked, and Beyond the Veil?  The reason I am asking again is that I am still planning on starting a new HARP campaign this spring and would like to have access to at least the bestiary.  If it is not out soon, I guess I will continue to use the Role Master Monsters.

Thanks in advance for any information.
