Bundle of Holding: Cthonstone Enemies

Are you ready to add a touch of the bizarre to your tabletop RPG campaigns? Bundle of Holding has just released the Chthonstone Essential Enemies Bundle, and it’s a treasure trove of strange and fascinating creatures for any old-school fantasy roleplaying game.

For just $17.95, you get the complete Chthonstone Essential Enemies Bundle, which includes the first eight volumes of the Essential Enemies series, plus the standalone game Dungeon Robbers From Outer Space. Here’s a quick rundown of what you’ll find:

  • Things From Beyond: Encounter creatures that defy the laws of nature and logic.
  • Outer Darkness: Delve into the eerie and unsettling beings that lurk in the shadows.
  • Haunted Forest: Explore the twisted flora and fauna that inhabit these cursed woods.
  • Between Two Worlds: Meet beings that exist in the liminal spaces between realms.
  • Creations of Chaos: Face off against chaotic entities born from the primordial forces of disorder.
  • In Darkening Woods: Discover the sinister inhabitants of these foreboding forests.
  • Far Beyond Death: Encounter creatures that exist beyond the veil of mortality.
  • From Under Ground: Unearth the monstrous denizens that dwell beneath the surface.

Designed by Johnstone Metzger and illustrated in full colour by Nathan Jones, the Essential Enemies series offers nearly 90 monsters across 350 pages. These creatures are perfect for any campaign, whether you’re looking to threaten, frighten, bedevil, flummox, or weird-out your player characters. Some of the standout entries include:

  • Alchemical Greenery: Plants with a sinister twist.
  • Crawling Head: A grotesque and terrifying foe.
  • Dark Elf Witch Cult: A group of malevolent witches.
  • Eyeball Syndicate: A bizarre organisation of eyeball-like beings.
  • Ghoul Monastics: Monks who have embraced the macabre.
  • Howling Helm: A cursed artifact that brings forth howling horrors.
  • Kobolds of Saturn: Alien invaders with a penchant for mischief.
  • Light Collector: A being that hoards light in the darkest corners.
  • Living Psychopomp: A guide for souls that leads them to their doom.
  • Malmensvird: A monstrous entity with a taste for chaos.
  • Meat Goliaths: Colossal beings made of meat.
  • Mung Mung: A mysterious and dangerous creature.
  • Rat Golems: Golems crafted from rats.

  • Satyrical Dramatists: Satyrs with a flair for drama.
  • Spawn Summoners: Masters of summoning dark spawn.
  • Vat Zombies: Reanimated corpses from a vat of chemicals.
  • Void Sharks: Sharks that swim through the void of space.

In addition to the Essential Enemies volumes, the bundle also includes Dungeon Robbers From Outer Space, a standalone game about alien astronauts who travel to fantasy worlds to search for magical artifacts. This game adds an extra layer of excitement and adventure to the bundle, and makes it actually usable as a standalone thing.

The Chthonstone Essential Enemies Bundle is available on Bundle of Holding for a couple of weeks. It’s not the biggest value bundle they’ve had, and is a tad niche, but it’s interesting. Worth a look, at least.
