Monsters of the Multiverse *Sorry for the delay: Due to some as of yet, not understood reason, this episode didn't release on time* Wizards of the Coast has released its newest rule book for the world’s greatest roleplaying game, Dungeons & Dragons. Designed as a way of bringing together player races and monsters that have been scattered across many different published books, Monsters of the Multiverse is like a one-stop-shop for all character options and monsters that aren’t in the core books. Join us as we walk through it live on the show! Inside Monsters of the Multiverse The new Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse book gives Dungeon Masters access to more than 250 monsters from myriad published adventures, as well as fresh new monsters to terrorize your fantasy world. More than that, it will contain over 30 updated player character races from various sources including Volo’s Guide to Monsters, The Tortle Package, Eberron: Rising from the Last War, and Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes. I was happy to see it will include the new Fairy and Harengon from the Wild Beyond the Witchlight, as it is such a fresh release. This is great as game design mechanics have changed and been redesigned over the life of 5th Edition. This often left some races feeling weaker than others. A good rebalancing was needed to ensure they are all appealing and mechanically balanced in power.
