[QUOTE="Frylock, post: 6746516, member: 38140"] I appreciate your position, but you have to realize a couple of things. 1) This project took months. 2) I have no desire to hurt WotC. 1. This was a long project, and I have others in mind that are a higher priority for me. I'm quite disillusioned with 5e, and especially with the direction that DDAL has taken (for those that don't know, DDAL refers to the current living campaign supported by WotC). However, I plan to release the Word version of this project, so if it's really that important to you and worth your time, you'll be able to add to it yourself. 2. My project inherently lessens the market just a bit for spell cards, so even as it is, WotC can be said to be hurt by what I've done. However, recreating the entire Monster Manual would probably reduce their sales by 90% (<-- completely made up statistic). The only thing the Monster Manual would have to offer at that point would be flavor text and pretty pictures. Some would still buy it, but probably not a lot. I don't have a motivation to eliminate the market for one of the three products that 90% (<-- yeah, made up too) of D&D players would otherwise buy.
