The First Edition Society (FES) is pleased to present a Fantasy Grounds adaption of its bestiary Monsters of Myth (MOM). This release builds upon the FG OSRIC content available to 1E GMs - new monsters to unleash on unsuspecting PCs!

MOM continues FG OSRIC's commitment to robust automation and random generation capabilities, easing the burden on harried GM's wanting to insert detailed NPCs into their session quickly and easily. Many of these monsters have extensive customization possibilities, and chained tables to deliver this individualization are built into every NPC. Much of this type of automation does draw upon (and depend upon) cross-links to tables in the FG OSRIC data modules.

Included in Monsters of Myth:


over 200 new NPCs penned by Matt Finch, Stuart Marshall (Papers and Paychecks), and others
dozens of NPCs authored by Stephen Marsh, co-author of the 1980 D&D Expert Set (including his "chaos taints" system)
several new FG items for use in your campaign, including new minor magic and treasure items
number appearing/in lair tables for each monster useful for quick-building random encounter tables
many tables constructed to prioritize speedy delivery of content over watching GUI dice roll in the chat box (player-facing tables excluded)


As this data mod was originally built for personal play years ago, a FG Classic version of the file is provided here. A Unity version is [edit - now live on the Forge], which would be used for any future development/updates.

Similarly to the FES OSRIC data modules, this bestiary is free. If any errors or glitches are found, please provide feedback here so the file may be updated.
