Coming High level Monster Manual

J-H

Hero
I've been running an adventure for 20th+ level characters (lots of epic boons, enemies of all types that they have to defend a point against for a time period). I've found that many creature types or factions have a very narrow band of useful CRs. Yugoloths cap out around CR 13, most of the giants were too slow and lacked ranged options, I had to make my own fey royalty, etc. I know some of the supplemental monster manuals include some higher level foes, but I have not run across a monster manual dedicated to CR 15-30 enemies, and if it's on the DM's Guild I didn't find it.

Even a recent thread with Mike Mearls included mention that one reason high level play isn't done as much is the dearth of foes.

I think there's space for a CR 15+ Monster Manual. I suspect for it to do well it would need art for almost every monster, and fancier layouts than what I do for my adventures. Definitely a group project.

Any interest, or direction to an existing publishing team who'd be interested?

I believe there are products like this out there already. I don't know how well or poorly they've done. I wouldn't look on DMs Guild, which is a pretty bad place for a serious publisher to be, unless they 100% absolutely have to use WotC IP monsters for some reason. I'd check DriveThruRPG and Kickstarter instead.
