ADD TO WISHLIST >

Blackdirge Publishing and Jesse Mohn are pleased to announce the re-release and continuance of the Animal Archives series. The new releases include completely updated and revised stat blocks, a new and easy to use layout, and many pages of new material.

 

The Animal Archives series takes real world animal from past and presents them with full stats, an accurate illustration, notes on combat and tactics, useful information for players, and even a bit about the animal in the real world. The first product in the series, Prehistoric Animals I, highlights prehistoric animals found primarily in North America.

 

Animal Archives: Prehistoric Animals I contains 23 pages of OGL material, which includes:

 
  • Aepycamelus – the giant camel of the Miocene.
  • Amebelodon – the shovel-tusked relative of the elephant from the Miocene and Pliocene.
  • Hollowtusk – a skeletal amebelodon that guards an ancient bone bed.
  • Arctodus – the giant short-faced bear of the Pleistocene.
  • Primordial Guardian – an advanced celestial arctodus tasked with guarding the forests of the upper planes.
  • Brontotherium – the massive rhino-like herbivore from the Eocene.
  • Thunderhorn – A massive elder brontotherium protecting a huge swath of primeval forest.
  • Dinohyus – the infamous “terrible pig” of the Miocene.
  • Dunkleosteus – the gigantic armored fish of the Devonian.
  • Abyssal Leviathan  - a massive demon-tainted dunkleosteus that is the undisputed master of the Abyssal seas.
  • Hyaenodon – the powerful wolf-like predators of the Paleocene and Oligocene.
  • Old Gnawfang – an awakened hyaenodon with an evil disposition and a hunger for the flesh of sentient creatures.
  • Presbyornis – an early waterfowl from the Eocene.
  • Ptilodus – a tiny squirrel-like animal from the Paleocene.

  Also included:

  • Expanded information for players, including information on animal companions, familiars, and mounts.
  • A summon nature’s ally and summon monster appendix, complete with stat blocks for fiendish and celestial versions of many animals.
  • Real world information on each animal.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
