[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9425391, member: 6796661"] I'm a bit torn. When running and prepping games, I prefer to have green dragon under G. Just easier to flip to that page. I don't want to flip to dragon and then further flip through the many dragon pages to the one I want. But when reading through and browsing the book, it is more flavorful to have a section on dragons and have some nice fluffy lore to read about dragons in general. I fear that putting each dragon in alphabetic order in the book based on the type of dragon will mean cutting down on fluff. One thing a learned over the course of the 2014 edition is that most DMs seem to prefer a fluff light approach and getting as many stat blocks as possible into the page count. I fear that the Volos Guide approach is as obsolete as Volos Guide, which bums me out a bit as it was by far my favorite 2014 era D&D book. I know we have Fizban's Guide and the Giants book. But having a monster book with a good collection of monsters well fleshed out and with sample lairs was a real treat. [/QUOTE]
