For the record I did not suggest this I warned against the MM becoming a catalog of statblocks and art. Please do not take comments out of context.

I do not want the core books to be setting books. I want the PHB and DMG to be rule books, and the MM to be a manual with lore, not a catalog of statblocks and art. Your example is one of players metagaming, which is something to deal with at the table not by stripping lore from the MM. Not a...

The games I play in unless it's magical which are always tracked, pc's are expected to collect reusable ammo after encounters, and replenish when they have the opportunity, don't and the DM will tell you when you run out almost always at the most inopportune moment possible. It usually goes...

The first encounter of Lost Mines can be pretty deadly, talk about setting the tone for 5e with the starter set!

The near $100 per book easily excludes them for many new player hence my caveat in my initial post about them being gone. I have no interest in further discussing things already addressed, explained and set aside, it is tedious and far from fruitful debate.

Sure it's going to change, that is not being questioned. How it is changing is the topic at hand.

Mine too, and in my DDB account, but a new player only has the stripped down multiverse option. Yes i know physical copies are outthere but I don't think it's fair to include them as one can't just pick a copy up at stocking retailers. It is the new players that will suffer the most.

I want to say, the book is printed and not changing i get that. Much like the direction the game is headed. I am just voicing my opinion that it is bad for the game. Can someone research the things being removed, sure but how many will? This is how things are lost to time, and while the lore is...

This is how things are lost. I want to buy books and play D&D, not world build and research things that imo should STILL be in the books I buy. Volo's and Tome of Foes are legacied (gone) they were stripped of lore and condensed into Monsters of the Multiverse. This is where this new push to...

Wouldn't someone capable/interested in doing their own world building be able to do so with the lore there? I mean if your into world building, stripping a stat blocks from lore filled descriptions seems to be a no brainer. Where as someone with no interest in world building having to create...

Meh, the new Monster Manual is more of a catalog than a manual without the lore. I get why they are doing it, I don't think it is good for the game. Please read this with the sarcasm intended: It just seems like we are heading towards statblocks battling it out in a spreadsheet how exciting!

To me stripping the lore away is stealing their identity from them. Lore can be ignored it if you want, but having the lore as canon is what keeps the creature from just being invasive species with no real history, they just are for no reason. Again just my view.

The windows to buy it for free seems to have closed. There's a thread about it on DDB.

Not that I am aware, the Spelljammer reference was an example of wizbro delivering poor quality content that gives people a valid reason to speculate they are gonna drop the ball with the PDK not an example of dragon riders in other books.

Spelljammer has entered the chat To be fair wizbro has given plenty of reasons for negative speculation in the last few years.

I have all of them and use them. I wish they would do them for Tasha's.

Sorry I edited my post when I realized what forum we are actually in lol.

Oops it is the D&D general forum, not 5e. Sorry.

This is the D&D5e forum. Just as some customers help sell books too.
