This was kinda why I didn't want them to go pure alphabetical. At the least, having a half page for the monster groups (Yugoloth, Demon, Devils, (Chromatic) Dragons, Giants, etc.) would have been good. Use the half page to give an overview of the group as a whole, and then at the end, give a...

Sounds similar to a Giant Weasel encounter I ran back in Saltmarsh. PC found a hole in the abandoned house's garden big enough to crawl in, and started to do so. The two Weasels inside attacked the interloper and tried to drag him deeper into the warren so they could eat him. There was quite...

My big question about the 2025 MM is how much space is actually devoted to reserved to talking about orcs? If the stat blocks are missing is there at least an entry that discusses what an Orc is? As far as I recall, the half-orc was stripped out of the PHB, and if there's no dedicated Orc stat...

There's good and bad points to it. Not having a full block for various humanoids leaves space for other creatures to be included, and if you CAN build an "orc warrior" by taking a Warrior stat block and applying a line or two of orcish flavor, it works. A table of various humanoid traits takes...

I try to play the monster according to its nature. I don't see the game as a pitting of wits against the players, but as an impromptu play where scenes are set up, but the players have control where it goes from there. I've been through previous games of onemanupship and rocket tag and I'm...

Just for my table (but I'm elated I actually got myself a printed copy). But I have two monster books that I've been print testing and hope to have on Drivethru soon.

I don't have to imagine, I pulled the trigger and got my own version printed. Too many changes to list fully, but I ended up rewriting just about everything, taking 2014 5E and pulling in everything from 2E & 3E that I felt fit. Some of the bigger changes: Anything that was a proficiency...

Discussion in the Mearls thread brings me back here. Went and looked and rankings and I'm baffled - why don't the 2024 books have any rankings? Also, this is currently the top 8 in D&D genre. Only one book actually from WotC in the top 8. What is going on?

Of course there were. How are you supposed to explain the Orc and the Pie if there are no Bakers?!?

It's a treadmill. First, you fight blue blobs. Then red. Then the "fearsome" black blobs. They're all the same thing, just with more hit points and bigger damage hits. I don't mind the idea of a Orc Warrior vs. an Orc Shaman or even maybe an "Eye of Gruumsh" (who sort of works as an evil...

It baffles me that the Gas Spore is. What about the Banshee? No longer so much a threat?

Have to admit, it's been a while since I watched it. Still rather have my "human" animal lords (though maybe the ability to turn into a huge animal wouldn't be bad)

I like the humanoid version much better myself (isn't it from Lhankmar?). The idea of the Lord of Cats taking human form to deal with those pesky humans - like a Dragon "stooping" to transform into a human. To me the new picture is just a Tabaxi and a Lupin - way too anthropomorphized (and I...

I'll raise you a "Cap'n" Flapjack

I have most of the 3E versions of Freeport, what other editions does it exist for and @Whizbang Dustyboots which would you suggest is the best edition? EDIT: I mean, best edition of the setting, not the game system.
