A good update to the previous 5e Monster Manual. Already it is proving to be useful for myself as a new DM / old player - for new monsters and old and is certainly helping create new challenges for my players. Well delivered with no markings.

So as a D&D nerd, having played the game since the1970's this has to be my favourite edition of the Monster Manual. As a group we got Digital and Physical books and this is just a pleasure to have on the book shelf.Illustrations and quality are very high, and its a weighty tome. If anything like my earlier edition books, including the Player Handbook, and DM's guide it will quickly become one of the most used books I ever own or purchase.Digital versions tie into the D&D Beyond system and that has in game upsides but for reference, and just sheer pleasure of readng this is my go to version.

picked this up out fo curiosity since i heard they had improved the lists compared to the 2014 edition, they werent wrong, though some of the new art choices are abit...crap compared to the old versions...oh and it's alreayd slightly out of date as they released a day 1 errata for the book via d&d beyond.

Great book. Excited to throw some of these monsters at my players. Amazing art also.

Amazing book

The go to for dms to get monster info a good update to the old version

Of the revised 5e rulebooks, this is the best by far. Where the 2024 Player’s Handbook diluted character species (rendering them bland and forgettable), the new Monster Manual offers a vast range of spicy beasts with which to populate a campaign. Fabulous.
