Immerse yourself in monster lore in this supplement for the world s greatest roleplaying game This is NOT just another "Monster Manual"! "Volo s Guide to Monsters" provides something exciting for players and Dungeon Masters everywhere. . A deep dive into the lore behind some of D&D s most popular and iconic monsters . Dozens of monsters new to the fifth edition to include in your epic adventures . New playable races to allow you to build characters to fit nearly any type of story in your D&D game. The esteemed loremaster Volothamp Geddarm is back and he s written a fantastical dissertation, covering some of the most iconic monsters in the Forgotten Realms. Unfortunately, the Sage of Shadowdale himself, Elminster, doesn t believe Volo gets some of the important details quite right. Don t miss out as Volo and Elminster square off (academically speaking of course) to illuminate the uninitiated on creatures both common and obscure. Uncover the machinations of the mysterious Kraken Society, what is the origin of the bizarre froghemoth, or how to avoid participating in the ghastly reproductive cycle of the grotesque vargouille. Dungeon Masters and players will get some much-needed guidance as you plan your next venture, traipsing about some dusty old ruin in search of treasure, lore, and let s not forget ... dangerous creatures whose horns, claws, fangs, heads, or even hides might comfortably adorn the walls of your trophy room. If you survive. Research has never been so dangerous!"

GrilledCheeseSamurai @TricksyTails lol! It's a D&D book but if you like monsters it's still pretty dang entertaining to read through. That cover is a special edition though (might be harder to find). 😎 7y

I might be favorably biased toward books like this because I'm always looking for idea seeds for the campaign I'm running. This is exactly the type of book I need sometimes, something I can just steal and remix ideas from for my own world. It's probably best for people just starting a campaign or campaign arc, but if you're looking for deeper "monsters" in your campaign, this has some great starting points.

Carol IS THERE A STORM GIANT IN OUR ADVENTURING PARTY? IS THEMA AN OMEN?!!!? I HAVE ALL THE QUESTIONS AND CAPS LOCK! 8y
acktopus I thought I was pretty clear about Thema being an omen! #dndtalk #superinsiderefs 8y
