  • Bestiary of the Realms: Volume 2
    Bestiary of the Realms: Volume 2 by Thomas M. Costa and Eric L. Boyd Art by Noëlle Triaureau Editorial assistance from Joe “Warlockco” Weber A NOTE FROM THE AUTHORS Welcome to volume two of the Bestiary of the Realms. As this is our second volume, you’ll find several score new or converted monsters, as well as a few different interpretations of monsters that have already been converted. A word of caution, just as many official 3E and 3.5E monsters did not slavishly follow earlier write-ups of those monsters, neither do the monsters herein. Instead, we did our best to consider all sources, hopefully make full and creative use of the 3.5E rules (including non-core WotC books), and in many cases add a little bit here and there to many of the monsters, even if it was in only adding or updating their Realms lore. A few have even been renamed. One last note, we’ve done our best to include source references for all things where appropriate, except those found in the three core rulebooks or Expanded Psionics Handbook. Until then, Sword High! – Thomas M. Costa and Eric L. Boyd ABOUT THE AUTHORS Thomas M. Costa is a senior analyst with the Government Accountability Office. He has been a contributor to several Wizards of the Coast products including Demihuman Deities and Races of Faerûn, and is the author of several Dragon Magazine and Wizards of the Coast website articles. He can be reached at [email protected]. Eric L. Boyd is a software designer and freelance game designer.

  • Animals and the Environment in Dungeons & Dragons
    Concentric: Literary and Cultural Studies 32.1 January 2006: 135-68. “Masters of the Wild”: Animals and the Environment in Dungeons & Dragons Matthew Chrulew Monash University Abstract This essay will engage in detail with the environmental aspects of fantasy role-playing games—particularly Dungeons & Dragons—from the pers- pective of contemporary ecocriticism and animal studies. In their eclectic cannibalization of various cultural others, these games instantiate the forms of late capitalist, postmodern culture. Nature plays an important part in this exotic simulacrum. Within fantastic worlds, druids, rangers, and other nature- oriented characters engage a multitude of animals, monsters and humanoid creatures, as described in the animal catalogue of the Monster Manual. This bestiary pairs an assortment of exotic images with a rigorously quantified set of biopolitical rules. Through violently mastering this state of “bare life,” player-characters can advance in prestige and power. The proliferation of hybrid creatures means, however, that the “human” is not uniquely privileged—thus provoking the question of the position of the “animal” amid this seemingly subversive mélange of monstrosity. Keywords fantasy role-playing games, Dungeons & Dragons, animals, monsters, biopolitics, bare life, becoming-animal, mastery, hybridity, agency, holding-to-form 136 Concentric 32.1 January 2006 For all its magic and otherworldliness, its historical grandness and militarism, the literature of fantasy is kindled by nothing so much as the natural world. However mythologized or modified they become, animals and the environment—or rather, the history of human engagements with them—are the source from which fantasy draws much of its material. The ecological dimensions of that fountainhead of modern fantasy—J.
