Iron Kingdoms Strangelight Workshop Spectrenomicon

Strangelight Workshop: Spectrenomicon

The Strangelight Workshop: Spectrenomicon is the definitive bestiary for the Iron Kingdoms Roleplaying Game, expanding the setting with the strange, dangerous, and often horrifying entities that lurk beyond the edge of the known world.

Designed to support the Strangelight Workshop Core Manual, the Spectrenomicon gives Game Masters a deep arsenal of adversaries shaped by industrial corruption, arcane experimentation, and supernatural catastrophe. These are not generic monsters — they are threats that feel native to a world where magic and machinery collide with devastating consequences.

Each entry is built to support immersive, story-driven play. Many threats are meant to be investigated, understood, and countered through preparation rather than brute force alone. The result is a bestiary that does more than fill encounters: it reinforces the setting’s tone of tension, consequence, and escalating danger.

Inside you’ll find:

• A wide range of supernatural, industrial, and arcane adversaries
• Creatures designed to support investigation, suspense, and narrative play
• Encounters that reward preparation, research, and smart tactics
• Full compatibility with the Strangelight Workshop Core Manual and Dungeons & Dragons 5E

Whether you’re expanding an ongoing campaign or building new threats from the ground up, the Strangelight Workshop: Spectrenomicon gives you the tools to make every session feel dangerous, meaningful, and unmistakably Iron Kingdoms.
