[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8250719, member: 22779"] Troll? Good grief, who uses trolls anymore? Lessee, I've got 4, no, 5 new monster books for 5e - Kobold's Tome of Beasts and Creature Codex. Just picked up a homebrew book The 188 page [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/DnDBehindTheScreen/comments/dtmgoj/massive_update_the_now_188_page_monster_hunter/]Monster Hunter's Book[/url]. I've got a mod for Fantasy Grounds for the NPC A Day with some 300 statted out monsters. And, I know I'm forgetting something, but, not that important right now. Sure, if you're simply churning out the same boring crap over and over again, yeah, it's boring. That's a bit self fulfilling. I haven't used a WotC monster manual, other than a handful of times, since... jeez, I don't think I ever have. When 3e rolled around, I immediately jumped on the Scarred Lands wagon - 3 full monster manuals of unique monsters. So, yeah, if you insist on retreading the same boring old crap over and over again, it will be boring. What's your point? Same goes for anything. Oh, look, it's yet another human cultist. Yawn. Same deal. I love dungeon crawls because it defines a nice split between civilization - towns, whatnot - and the unknown. You have no idea what you will find in a dungeon. Heck, last largish dungeon crawl I ran had pools dedicated to Baphomet that healed you and made you super strong. Granted, they eventually cost you your soul, but, hey, that made for interesting play once the players who were taking advantage of these free gifts realized that there ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
