New d30 Books — Nearly a Decade in the Works! (Available December 2026?)

Believe it or not, I'm in the final stages of a 2-volume set of d30 Books that I hope to release this December. This was inspired by my old Monster Indexes. 

About 10 years ago, I was starting to work on a d30 Encounter Companion and realized as it expanded it needed to be 2 books—one for Humans/Humanoids, and one for Monster/Beasts. Then life happened, and then it let up enough that I could get back to this, and now I find myself months away from finishing all the proofing and artwork needed to get these released out into the world. 

Volume 2 (Monsters/Beasts) is 238 pages and, right now, Volume 1 (Humans/Humanoids) stands at about 150. However, I'm revisiting and expanding some of the content for Volume 1 (based on some things I did in Volume 2) and expect that one to come out to almost 200 pages as well. 

I'm planning on having them available in hardback, coil bound, trade paperback, and PDF. Not sure on pricing yet. Color cover, B&W interior.

Below are a few sample pages from Volume 2, showing the two major types of entries. Some are just tables to modify a standard version of a monster + supporting tables, other are 30 (or 60!) fully different variations of a creature type, statted individually + descriptions and supporting tables. And as usual, there are some worksheets in the back to support the DM using the book. Only a few pages in each overlap with the previous d30 books. Otherwise about 97% new content in both books.

BTW, I'm also messing with the cover illustrations, so those are likely to change.

More to come!!!
