FLEE, MANUAL!21 Mar 202501:50:07

The new 2024 D&D Monster Manual is out. We’ve had it for a few days, we have THOUGHTS™. Does it beat Flee Mortals? (no) Is it worth the price? (maybe) Why do Modrons have huge fleshy lips? (we have no earthly idea).

Ceres made a csv of monster names, challenge ratings, subtypes, legendary status, taglines and more. Here it is! It was designed specifically for compatibility with Kobold+ Fight Club.

Here are other links on the math of the new monster manual that we reference in the episode:
