[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7189608, member: 37579"] Okay, fine. I think they're good. They're a good idea. I praised the concept when Paizo did it for the [I]Monster Codex[/I]. I praised the little custom monsters in the [I]Starer Set[/I]. I've considered doing a book of them myself. Variant monster powers and generic monster traits are a good. That's nice. And my standard response is I want a rainbow pony that poops diamonds. Okay, I get it. You want official WotC branded products only. But their release schedule has changed. They're no longer doing a product every month and a hardcover book every other month. It's fine to not use anything but WotC content, but you also have to prepare to be disappointed by not always getting what you want. The aforementioned [I]Monster Codex[/I] was Pathfinder's 6th adversary product and its 14th hardcover book. At WotC's current rate, we could expect a similar product by 2028. This is the kind of content they *might* do sooner (because it adds value without adding bloat, by making existing monsters more interesting). But they're still unlikely to go right back to monsters next year, and if they do it would still likely be in a dragon or undead flavoured monster book akin to [I]Volo's Guide to Monsters[/I] rather than a generic opponent book. Dude, this week alone you've asked WotC to fix resting/ the 5 minute workday, magic item crafting and downtime, and now monster themes. [/QUOTE]
