Crit Academy Presents: Memorable Monsters

Created by Crit Academy

Memorable Monsters will be the ultimate guide to monsters and NPCs, bringing 50 fully fleshed out monsters and NPCs to your 5th Edition game - from ancient powerful dragons who seek to subjugate the kingdoms around its lair, to once-powerful wizards who flew too close to the sun and are now cursed. Memorable Monsters contains detailed backgrounds, short and long-term goals, and a collection of different ways to include the monster into your stories and campaigns. From a traditional villain, or a source of information, to a quest giver, merchant or ally, you’ll find what you need to make all your encounters memorable.

Dear Backers,

Amazing news! Thanks to all our nearly 550 generous backers, we have reached our $15,000 goal. We are thrilled and humbled by your support. And we’re not done yet.

Our next stretch goal is $20,000
If we raise just $
5000 more, we will unlock the Monster Submissions Perk. If we reach this goal, we will accept backer submissions for memorable monsters to be added to the book. Submissions will be narrowed down by Crit Academy and then voted on by YOU! It could be your submission that truly becomes a Memorable Monster!

As always, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] or find us on social media @critacademy

Thank you!

90% FUNDED!!!

Hey Backers!

There are only 13 days left in our campaign! Let’s make it count. We have raised $13,734, but we still need $1266 to reach our goal so we can fund our Memorable Monsters project.

We really appreciate all of the publicity we have gotten but there is always more to be done. The biggest help in getting us to the finish line is having our backers share our project with friends, family, and social media. 

Check out one of the most recent episodes of our Crit Academy Podcast where we discussed this project and shared some in-depth insight into one of the monsters.

Hitting our $15,000 goal will bring this project to life but reaching even further and hitting some of our stretch goals will allow us to add even more content to this amazing book.

$20,000 will enable us to accept backer submissions that will be voted on by you and winners will be added to our book.

$30,000 will unlock 10  adventures and complex lairs to accompany 10 of our favorite monsters. 

$35,000 will allow us to print off in bulk at a reduced cost allowing us to improve the quality of the product from the paper, binding material, and image quality. 

$50,000 will add an additional 25 memorable monsters. That’s 50% more unique, complex, and fantastic monsters for your stories and campaigns.

We know many of you still have questions, so please feel free to reach out to us through this Kickstarter or by emailing [email protected] or finding us on social media @critacademy

Thank you!
Justin & the Crit Academy Team

We are so excited to be 80% funded! We are starting to work on some of the groundwork now for the next step in this project and we are so excited! We had a few sample monsters done before launch so we could share the concept with everyone but now we get to start working on so many more monsters! If we hit our $20,000 stretch goal we will also be taking submissions from our backers and letting you all vote on some of the monsters that will make it into the book! Stay tuned for more...

We have reached yet another great milestone thanks to our wonderful backers. We have now hit $10,000 in pledges which is over 65% to our funding goal. We were so nervous launching our very first Kickstarter that we would not do very well but you all have blown us away with your support. With 21 more days to go in our campaign, we are confident that we will be able to reach our goal and bring this amazing book to life. Please continue to share with your friends!
