[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9452132, member: 6801228"] This was always true. I didn't need Morrus or Kobold Press or anyone else to publish a new set of core rulebooks and sell them for a profit for this to be true. Why are you acting like this is some sort of new paradigm that did not exist before? Who has ever said it is lesser? I certainly have never said it was lesser. Why do you think that? Do you want to know the strongest memory I have of the DnD Next playtest in 2013? It was sitting at my computer, laughing, because I had just spent a good few hours homebrewing some goblins. I was homebrewing them because I have a disdain for DnD goblins as they are normally depicted. And after all that work, I opened the next playtest packet for DnD Next, which would eventually become DnD 5e.... and there was the goblin, and it had the EXACT same special abilities I had just given my goblin. My version still has better hp and better mental stats that the DnD 5e goblin. But I have never considered monsters created by anyone anywhere for DnD 5e to be "lesser" than WotC's, unless they were poorly made. Then they were lesser designs compared to better designs. But I was doing this, working within this paradigm since 2013, before the SRD, before DnD 5e, before any of the products you are lauding as being so revolutionary. And some of the best monster designs I've found? From Reddit posts.
