Its only the same monster types with higher math rather than offering anything palpably new.I think a 5E should go with the 'Tiered' Box Set approach but I'd simply advocate the following:- ADVENTURER Tier: Levels 1-10The heroes are adventurers...- CONQUEROR Tier: Levels 11-20The heroes are conquerors...new rules include running your own stronghold, mass combat rules.- IMMORTAL Tier: Levels 21-30The heroes are immortals...new rules include garnering worship, creating your own religions.Across the board condense monster levels down by about 33% (ie. the Tarrasque would be Level 20 not 30).Treat the Monster Sections of each book like mini-adventures. So the ADVENTURER Tier might have the following themes:1. Goblin Caves2. Wererat Infested Sewers3. Human Bandit Hideout4. Orc Fortress5. Haunted Ruins6. Evil Temple7. Dragon's Lair8. Vampire Crypt9. Troll Den10. Wizard's TowerEach theme covers maybe a dozen enemies (for instance you might have 6-7 goblin statblocks for the Goblin Caves, but you would also have various monsters likely to feature there).</blockquote>
