To be honest, I wasn't really convinced at first that Castle Falkenstein actually needed a bestiary. I was however very happy to see the Great Game being revived.
After reading Curious Creatures, I'm happy to say that not only it is faithful to the unique writing style of the original series of books, it also expands and enriches the universe of Castle Falkenstein in clever ways. It is also very pleasant to read, light on rules but full of imagination and humor. Each entry could spawn an adventure or a full campaign. Last but not least, the layout is also very elegant.
A testimony to the quality of this product: I bought the PDF first and actually enjoyed it so much I ordered the printed version as well, so it can rest proudly on my shelf, next to the rest of my Falkenstein collection.
One of my favorite games is not only alive again, it is also in very good hands, and I couldn't be more happy.
