[QUOTE="Parmandur, post: 8346651, member: 6780330"] To start with some number crunching: Total Page Count: [LIST] [*]Volo's Guide to Monsters: 224 [*]Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes: 256 [*]Fizban's Treasury of Dragons: 224 [/LIST] Lore Section Page Count and Subjects covered: [LIST] [*]VGtM: ~100 pages for 9 Monster kinds getting deep dives, ~11 pages per topic [*]MToF: ~114 pages covering 6 topics namely Devils & Hell, Demons & the Abyss, Elves & Drow, Dwarves & Duarger, Gith, and Gnomes/Halflings, ~19 pages per topic. [/LIST] -FToD: about 100-120 pages for the 20 Dragons [I]AND[/I] Dragonborn Lore seems somewhat tight, this could be larger than the other books. Player Options Coverage: [LIST] [*]VGtM: 18 pages covering 7 full race wtiteups and a handful of "Monster races." [*]MToF: hard.to judge, as this is interspersed among the Lore chapters, but probably only a few pages sepwrfrom Lore. [*]FToD: about 20 pages, based on the UA material and and tables described by Wyatt seems generous (I take his "one third DM material, one third Plauer material, and one third monster material" as less than literal). [/LIST] Bestiary Page Count and Stat Block Numbers: [LIST] [*]VGtM: ~106 pages, nearly 100 monster stats blocks. [*]MToF: ~142 pages, nearly 140 Monster stat blocks [*]FToD: this could vary considerably, but it does seem plausible that this may have a somewhat smaller Bestiary than Volo's did, depending on how large the Lore Section and Character material ends up going. If we suppose 84 pages or so, we might be looking at 80 Monsters approximately. Could go higher, could go lower. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
