This week, Fiona interviews Keith Ammann, ENnie-winning author of 'The Monsters Know What They're Doing' blog, about his latest book, 'Making Enemies': An indispensable and easy-to-follow new handbook for creating original enemies in tabletop role-playing games.

From the 'Making Enemies' press release:

'In Making Enemies, Keith Ammann explores everything that goes into creating monsters from the ground up: size, number, and level of challenge; monster habitats; monster motivations; monsters as metaphors; monsters and magic; the monstrous anatomy possessed by real-world organisms; and how to customize monsters for your own tabletop roleplaying game adventuring party to confront.

No longer limited to one game system, Making Enemies shows you how to build out your creations not just for D&D 5E but also for Pathfinder 2E, Shadowdark, the Cypher System, and Call of Cthulhu 7E. Including interviews with some of the most brilliant names in RPG and creature design, Making Enemies gives you the tools to surprise and delight your players—and terrify their characters—again and again.'

You can find out more about Keith's upcoming book, 'Making Enemies' and other work on his website.
