Monster Island

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Imagine a land of dark, sweltering jungles filled with nameless monstrosities and savage reptilian head-hunters... hacking through thick undergrowth to uncover forgotten overgrown ruins filled with glittering treasures... discovering mysterious cities of gold hidden high up between the sheer mountain peaks, filled with foul sorceries... uncovering ancient temples still used by secretive cults to practice their abhorrent sacrifices... and worse still, if those gods arose as titanic beasts beyond mortal comprehension, to destroy those that dare despoil their worshippers...

Then imagine you’ve arrived, shipwrecked or magically transported, to this tropical hell and that there is no escape. 

Welcome to the horror of Monster Island!

Monster Island is a fully detailed sandbox setting which can be used in almost any existing campaign, from Swords & Sorcery through to 1930’s Two Fisted Pulp. It contains enough material to run a game for years, including:

  • An examination of the native cultures, their strange habits and unsettling magical practices
  • Almost a hundred new creatures, plants and spirits to use in any Mythras campaign
  • Comprehensive tables for encounters, random events, poisons, diseases, treasures and the like
  • New spells, miracles and fully defined cults for those that wish to dabble in the dark arts
  • Several dozen places of interest, half of which have been fully detailed for immediate play
  • Countless plot hooks and scenario ideas, as well as guidance on how to incorporate Monster Island into an existing campaign

With its foetid secrets and gritty adventure, the comprehensive content of Monster Island is guaranteed to inspire any Game Master. Delve back to a time of classic Sword & Sorcery with priceless jewels, fierce dinosaurs and dark horror!

Will this file ever be updated to include the changes following the rebrand to Mythras?

I bought this back in the day when it was still branded for RuneQuest, and re-downloaded it now because I remembered there were supposed to be some updates in the re-branded for Mythras version; but the download is still the RQ-branded version ... would it be possible to update the file?

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.
