Josh and Art are joined by special guest, co-founder of Dice Dungeons Jarrett Butler to talk about their upcoming Kickstarter campaign for their cryptid-themed bestiary, P.T. Lamark’s Cryptid Codex. Jarrett shares insights into a few of the creatures we can expect blocks for, as well as an exploration into the design philosophies of the book, including a couple of illustrations by Zora.
