Lusus Naturae (plus a new 5E monster conversion)

It will be arriving a bit later than planned, but I'm happy to hear that +Rafael Chandler's Lusus Naturae is in the final stages. The book is an utterly gruesome old school bestiary using the Lamentations of the Flame Princess rules set (meaning it's compatible with most old school fantasy games and even 5e with a  little work). I've already converted one of the preview monsters over to 5E. You can can check the preview and read about the nasty thing here.
