AAW Games today announced Monster of the Month, a new addition to their tabletop gaming site Adventureaweek.com.

Created using actual folklore gathered by Justin Andrew Mason then expertly illustrated by AAW Games' lead artist Mates Laurentiu (Romania), the monsters are then crafted by Stephen Rowe (Pathfinder RPG) and Chris Harris (5th Edition). Leonid Ponomarev is also converting both versions over for use in the Fantasy Grounds virtual tabletop.

AAW Games is offering MotM in PDF, print 8 x 10 cardstock, and Fantasy Grounds so GMs and DMs can easily add new and exciting opponents to their ongoing campaigns.

5-Star Review for Stowaway on the Singing Sea

I'm excited to announce that my adventure "Stowaway on the Singing Sea" (published by AAW Games / Adventureaweek.com) landed a 5-star review from Endzeitgeist! Yet another really great review!

"Stowaway on the Singing Sea" is a Mini-Dungeon adventure designed for 5-8 character of levels 3-4. The adventurers have been hired by local authorities to sneak aboard the merchant ship, The Last Song. The vessel is owned by the Elloise Drake (suspected of also being the nefarious pirate, Lady Wavedancer). Law enforcement at the port city of Tangran’s Landing have managed to arrange for a “special piece of cargo” to be loaded upon the vessel for its upcoming voyage. Rather than the fine silks said to be in the shipment, the adventurers are smuggled aboard hidden inside.

This adventure can be purchased via Adventureaweek.com, DriveThruRPG, RPGNow, and Paizo.
