Tender Hatchlings

You found an egg!

Whether it was in the midst of a grand quest through enchanted wood or found sitting atop an altar during an eerie dungeon delve, the only thing you know for sure is that a little freak resides inside. But what kind?

Tender Hatchlings is a system-agnostic Tabletop Roleplaying Game zine and bestiary of sorts to be used should your party ever come across a mysterious egg on their adventures. With proper love and care, they will find themselves the proud parents of one of ten unique monstrosities ranging from a legendary golden kaiju to an erudite dinosaur princess.

Like my last project, Suburbia: The Envy of A Million Spheres!, Tender Hatchlings exclusively features physical, hand-sculpted  art and features entries from guest artists and writers including:
