The companion volume to Shadow of the Weird Wizard, this supplement includes everything you need to create and play through quests in the shadow of this strange and otherworldly wizard. To help you carry out this vital role, this book contains a staggering amount of information, covering rules and guidance for running the game, a dynamic setting ripe for exploration, and an in-depth bestiary that includes many old fantasy favorites and plenty of new and reimagined terrors.

Key Features

Shadow of the Weird Wizard: Secrets is the adapted, Foundry VTT counterpart of Secrets of the Weird Wizard. It includes:

• All text originally featured in Secrets, from Introduction to Chapter 3, recreated as journals. This includes:
  
  • Advice for running and creating quests and everything in between.
  • Dozens of tips for designing combat scenes, interesting battlefields and deadly traps.
  • Details on the setting of the Borderlands, the frontier between the Old Country and the Weirdness of the New Lands.
  • A bestiary containing information about enemies and allies, as well as ancestries natives to Erth.
• Rollable tables for downtime rules, magical item oddities, travel events and more.
• All the 300+ bestiary entries included in Secrets, updated to the latest errata, carefully adapted for Foundry VTT usage.
• A separate Item compendium containing over 1400 abilities used by the entries in the Bestiary, from Attacks to End of Round effects, meant to be dragged and dropped to any other creature.
• An annex journal with 25+ non-human ancestries, featuring carefully selected icons to represent each trait, ready for drag and drop.
• A bunch of automations on all of the above!

Bestiary

The bestiary features over 300 creatures, covering both fantasy classics - such as dragons, demons and zombies - as well as much weirder adversaries - ancient dead dreamers, the mysterious OM or the infamous man-bear-pig. The monsters cover all tiers of play, Novice to Master, and feature regular foes as well as powerful creatures with fury, capable of taking on a party by themselves. Additionally, the ancestries come with associated NPC adversaries and serve as templates to modify your NPCs.

You can browse the Bestiary Entries in three ways:

• Through the Chapter 3 journal, as if you were reading a supplement.
• Like any document compendium, in Foundry's Compendium Packs tab, each creature in their own respective group Folder.
• Using the system's Compendium Index app, for a powerful table view for quick comparison.
