N1-g3l in as a Dungeons and Dragons character in The Tome of Beasts!

Not only has the Thaumaturge Animation Team produced media content for Kobold Press' 'Tome of Beasts,' but our favorite clockwork sidekick, N1-g3l, from 'The Flight of the Arrowhead,' has his own page in the bestiary! Andrew Teheran and Joao Tarouco designed stats for the N1-g3l model, called a "Library Automaton," for the 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons game.

The character N1-g3l was originally designed by Joao Tarouco, Richard Santiago, Leonardo Gulli, Andrew Teheran and the rest of the production team of 'The Flight of the Arrowhead.'

The book 'Tome of Beasts' is available for sale on the Kobold Press website and on Amazon.com.

The Tome of Beasts!

Last year, 'The Flight of the Arrowhead' team began a new partnership with Seattle's Kobold Press, a publisher of 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons rulebooks. Andrew Teheran, Joao Tarouco, Andre Marques, Andre Zatta and Dylan Alves, along with interns from East Side High School's Media Arts Magnet Program, have produced animated content for the game company. This partnership will continue this year with more media content, internships and other amazing geeky stuff. Here is the book release trailer we created for a huge bestiary called 'The Tome of Beasts.' Enjoy!
