Hey Patrons,

James Introcaso here to let you know that Beastheart and Monstrous Companions is now available on the MCDM Shop, Roll20, and Fantasy Grounds for $15!

Who doesn’t want an owlbear best friend? Beastheart and Monstrous Companions provides rules for adding wild creatures to your fifth edition adventuring party. In battle, your companion builds ferocity, a new resource they can spend to use special actions like Earthshaker, Slime Shower, and Owlie Oop. But beware! If your companion builds up too much ferocity, they can enter a rampage and might just attack you instead. Fifteen companions are included in the product:

Basilisk

Blood Hawk

Bulette

Deinonychus

Dragon Wyrmling

Earth Elemental

Gelatinous Cube

Giant Spider

Giant Toad

Giant Weasel

Hell Hound

Mimic

Owlbear

Sporeling

Worg

The supplement also includes the Beastheart, a brand-new class that uses the companion rules to create an adventurer with a wild partner. The Beastheart is presented with five new subclasses: Ferocious Bond, Hunter Bond, Infernal Bond, Primordial Bond, and Protector Bond.

The product wraps up with eight new magic items made for companions and their caregivers, and an original piece of fiction from Matt Colville, “The First Meeting.”

Dive into adventure with a ferocious friend!

Surprise: Miniatures Too!

Also, we've got a special surprise for you: five companion miniatures are also now available for purchase on the MCDM Shop! Catch them all:

Feathers the Owlbear

Maxine the Hell Hound

Mot the Sporeling

Spike the Deinonychus

Xix the Dragon Wyrmling

Triglav Games

Was looking forward to this for so long! Insta buy :) game on

NoSmallParts

Very excellent. Thank you James et al.

Landon The DM

Done! Bought. (Hoping it wasn't already included and I just missed it haha)

Randall Dorn

Gotta love your enthusiasm in this vid!

Samuel Schirn Drzymala

This is great. But you're missing the best one! How fun and useful would a BLINK DOG be for a D&D pet????

Matthias Havrez

There is no Displacer Beast either. And you know why ? Because MCDM doesn't have the rights to use Blink Dogs and Displacer Beasts. (I have not check for blink dogs, but it is the case for displacer beasts.) And there might be other reasons.

Firstbourne

Thanks for pointing that out - I was logging on to question the absence of the Displacer Beast. Guess I'll need to stat that out myself.

Kamish Bhai

I am super excited to grab this! Thank you! Any chance this would come to Foundry?

Rakbel316

Love this! I look forward to purchasing it when I can!

Vivas Kaul

Is this free to Patrons like the Illrigger was?

Filip Thorén

Could be that they're planning for their own versions of those in the upcoming monster book. We know there's a "Not-Displacer Beast" and the "Not-Tarrasque" in there, for instance. That would include monstrous companion versions of those too, I'd wager (maybe not the "Not-Tarrasque" though!).

James Whatson

Also wondering this! EDIT: It's not :(

Jason Crook

Will there ever be an option to purchase STL files to print our own minis?

Ron Mathers

This has solved a small problem for me Thank You.

Adam Hodel

Thus far, they've never done any stl releases. But yeah. I would LOVE if I could print some of their minis.

Tintenteufel

Yeah! Does it come with NPC statblocks?

Anthony Richards

Wanna buy so bad....must wait till next paycheck 😩!!!!

BasCB

In the stream Matt brought this up to Jason. They seem to be thinking about doing mini designs where they would be selling the STL files (somewhere in the future). But Jason mentioned that they are not planning on selling STL files for minis that can be bought in the Kickstarter and/or the website but rather done specifically for that purpose (something also to do with exact detailing of the mini sculpts etc)

Khruzili

I love how your class design seems to follow an idea my brother and I frequently discuss on how we would change existing classes. The class itself is relatively simple as far as the ideas it operates around, and the subclasses are a major decision. I love when the subclass you choose can dramatically change how a class plays.

Dakota Gaar

I love that enthusiasm! Been playing around with Beast Heart multiclasses and can’t wait to try one out!

Ron Griffis

I humbly second the call for a FoundryVTT port!

Darth Kay'Tahna

Do we know when exactly the minis will restock? It would be nice for Patrons to be able to get an advanced notice so we can snatch them up if we missed them the first time. Or maybe even just buying STLs instead of waiting for the printer to restock.
