[QUOTE="flametitan, post: 7435068, member: 6822731"] I can find a online table of names pretty easily, so I didn't *need* Xanathar's Guide to Everything's tables, but having it in one book so I don't *have to* is pretty nice. (Though to be honest, I would've liked it in the DMG, to go along with the NPC generator included) I started with 5e, so I hold no love for the old lore. That might be a major contributing factor to why I liked Volo's Guide of Monsters and Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes [i]more[/i] than Xanathar's Guide. Xanathar's was just powercreep and fixing things that weren't broken, to me. It's also probably why I don't care about the prevalence of the Forgotten Realms in the adventures, as I don't care enough about the proper names to be concerned that it's only one world, so far. That said, I seem to be the only person who liked the SCAG, and thought it made the Forgotten Realms somewhere worth adventuring in, so I am by no means the dominant voice of D&D. [/QUOTE]
