Product page for Volo's Guide to Monsters updated

Oh that is a nice preface.

 

[Desrimal]

I don't need additional monster lore or new character races - I'm only interested in more monsters. I wish they would have made a Monster Manual 2 instead - with more monsters and NPCs presented like the original MM.

Going by this and the SCAG, for releases outside of campaign-length modules, I suspect we can expect most books to hybrid products. But I suppose two products hardly make for good sample data.

The new races might be fun, and the monster lore could be inspiring. If it gives me some new ideas for old favorites, I'll be happy. But yeah, I'm always up for more monsters for the game.

Aside from new monsters, though, what I really want are some new magic items.

I just want a final version of the kender race.

 

[Sorcerers Apprentice]

One thing I ponder about Kirin's is how do they feel about there being a beer called Kirin...

The same way Hobgoblins feel about the beer called Hobgoblin I assume In both cases the beer is named for the creature.

As someone else noted on another thread (possibly pre-crash), even the adventure books are hybrids. In particular, "Storm King's Thunder" appears to be rather better as a setting guide than as an adventure.

(And it's not the only one - CoS had significant information about Barovia, OotA detailed a lot of the FR Underdark, and so on.)

Never going to happen. WotC didn't deliver on that promise with the DMG, and they don't seem like they have any intention of making good on it in the future. They have said that Dragonlance is not one of their priority settings, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

Yeah, I want to finish the kender, too. ;-)

Just kidding, I secretly love those obscene, fearless little kleptos, myself.

The ENWorld hivemind theory right now is that the "big book of rules" being hinted at may cover mechanical options for other settings, such as Warforged or Kender. Dragonlance is not a tier one setting, but it feta plenty of coverage in the core books.

From your keyboard to Mearl's Eyeballs. I'd be very happy with a "Guide to the Multiverse" with Kender, Warforged, Artificers, Shair, Muls, Bariaurs, Mystic/Psions, and more spells, feats, and such.

 

[gyor]

I'm pretty excited about this release as well as the Dungeonology book. New races? Hells yes!

I want a better idea of what will be in the Dungeonolgy book before I get excited.
