Why Is Chris Perkins Tweeting Page Snippets Of Mongrelfolk?

I didn't see that either. Do mongrelfolk appear in one of the adventures they've released, or is this a possible hint of the Monster Manual 2?

Chris Perkins tweeted what looks like part of a page from an official 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons book referring to what looks like a Mongrelfolk race or monster. There was no other context, and it was a couple of weeks ago. Thanks to Wolf Hunter for pointing it out to me!

Chaos soaked world, magical experiments. Maybe something to do with the Shakespearean theme adventure?

More generic teasing from Perkins... Like the Greyhawk boxed set or the visit or the half-dozen other vague tweets he's made that we haven't seen follow-up on.

Seems like too much flavour text for a monster entry for the next storyline volume, but they could be beefing it up. Or it could be for a future article. Or it could be a monster that didn't make the cut of the Monster Manual but was written.

Uhhmmmm.....5e Gamma World??


Or maybe this is a snippet from what they are consulting with Pendleton Ward on??

Mongrelfolk featured prominently in the 2e Ravenloft module "Circle of Darkness," which I ran for a group recently after converting it to 5e.

I sure hope it's teasing us about a Monster Manual 2. Give me one of those with all the classic planar monsters I need to represent my traditional multiverse (celestial exemplars, gem dragons, etc) and a Psionics Handbook and that's all the crunch I really need. There are still other products I would appreciate though--I just want them to give us the essentials to fill out the multiverse and then avoid bloat.

Hmm, looks like a picture of a printed manuscript/book and not a copy and paste from an electronic document. If it is from a future product it looks like they could be far enough along to have a proof copy. A summer release perhaps.

I sure hope they dont release a mm2. Releasing splat books is bad for their business plan!


STORY STORY STORY.

1. Mongrelmen (folk) have been around since 1e Dwellers of the Forbidden City

2. It looks like a 5e PC race write up to me

3. I predict we will see a Ravenloft storyline/AP drop after Elemental Evil wraps up... in time for Halloween.
