D&D 5E Monster Manual Expanded III HARDCOVER/PoD is FINALLY OUT! Get it now from the DM's Guild!

Will it be also available as print on demand too?
(I am not the PDF type, unless absolutely necssary).

Answered on a previous page. Yes, but after it's had a bit of time as a PDF only, so typos, etc., that slipped through can be caught and corrected.

Dang!!!! It will mean that I will have to wait a bit.

Just for a little bit.

Monster Manual Expanded III Art Previews #37: As promised, sharing some beholders today. Two are beholderkins while's one a construct. The 2E classic Gorbel, the Eye of Gulguthra (a beholder-otyugh hybrid), and the Clockwork Beholder!

Monster Talents II is just around the corner so I'd like to share a preview of its interior art work. This is just Part 1 though. I'll share Part 2 tomorrow and Part 3 soon after. The reason I'm showing them here is because it also serves as a preview for Monster Manual Expanded III as they'll definitely be used again there (each will have their own stat block). Interestingly enough, what you see here and the ones in Part 2 and 3 are ones that missed the cut for MME 2. Credits to Bad Moon Art Studio for the artwork.

That would be a korred elder, which is based on the korred from Volo's Guide to Monsters.

I love Beholders, and those are amazing!

 

[J.Quondam]

I hate beholders, and those are amazing!

 

[Dale Libby]

Gorbels go nom-nom-nom...

 

[SPECTRE666]

I didn't think that I would ever need "Clockwork Beholders" until today! Mind blown!

Monster Manual Expanded III Art Previews #38: It's Kobolds for today! And some of them are low-level legendary bosses you can use to spice up your kobold encounters and lairs! The Conqueror of Dakarnok (CR 3), the Dragonsinger (CR 2), the Trapmaster of Gaknulak (CR 3), the War Leader of Kurtulmak (CR 4), the Urd Batlord of Kuraulyek (CR 3), and the Urd Warlock (CR 3)! Next week, more dragon art!

Not exactly connected with the book, but this new Netflix series will feature some creatures that will appear in MME III.

I guess you can consider it a preview.

Monster Manual Expanded III Art Previews #39: Today, I'm sharing another illithidragon (that is feasting on an umber hulk), brown dragon, and two elder guard drakes! This coming Wednesday, the three dragon templates!

Monster Manual Expanded III Art Previews #40: Finally, for the 40th preview, I'm highlighting the cover art dragon. What is she? She is part of the three dragon templates you'll get from MME3. For the beleaguered DM who wants to humble (or shock) his players, I give you the Two-Headed Dragon template, the Three-Headed Dragon template, and the Favored Dragon of Tiamat Template! Starting next week, a lot of new stuff!

Now THIS is what I'm talking about!

 

[Rhuarc]

Indeed, this book gets better and better with each preview. Time for July to finally get here!

 

[SPECTRE666]

Nice...

A couple of months ago I mentioned that I prepared a list of objectives when I was going to do MME3. I want to update that now with the last one I haven't shared yet, #7.
1. 90% original art.
2. New celestials.
3. New dragons.
4. More non-evil creatures.
5. New low-level legendary humanoids (CR 5 or less)
6. More plants.

7. New creatures from the local Philippine mythology.

And with that, here's a teaser of tomorrow's preview, the fey Gray Duwende (aka Nuno sa Punso), one of three types of Duwendes that will be part of MME3. The amazing artwork is done by Tots Valeza!

... I love it. I know nothing of Philippine folklore and I appreciate the chance to learn!
