If the positive reception for Volo’s Guide to Monsters leads to another "Big Book of Monsters" getting published at some point, what theme and format would you like to see for it?
For VGtM, we got the Volo/Elminster thing to tie the book together thematically. Then, in terms of format, it was broken down into lore, player races and monster entries. Would you want something similar or different?
As much as I enjoyed Volo’s Guide, next I’d like them to change things up a bit.
I’d love to see “Monsters of the Multiverse.” Essentially, a monster manual that’s broken down into separate chapters for different classic D&D settings.
For me, that would be a great product. You'd get 5e versions of the most iconic monsters from Dragonlance, Eberron, Dark Sun, Mystara, etcetera. Not only would it be a godsend for anyone currently thinking of running campaigns in these settings, but almost any of these monsters could be dropped into other games. It'd be something usable by all DMs, despite being a book about specific D&D worlds.
