The Mirrorball Man
Aventurier
I'm managing for now but it feels kind of wrong to be designing adventures without the Monster Manual open in front of me. There is enough material to make do, however, so I can hold on without too much stress.
Which is not to say I entirely *understand* WotC's scheduling...I mean, we know the DM's screen is ready to go (it was used on video at both PAX and the recent Phandelver session), so why hold onto it until January?
Presumably every release gives a boost to the whole collection, so every time they release something, people buy the other products as well.
