Matt discusses the finer points of the Monster Manual. Like what does it mean to be a monster? The book has some great ideas on dwellings, like an asylum in the underdark. We also talk about the introduction of legendary creatures. Plus Matt shares a little bit of the Tarrasque.
I’m pleased with the new Monster Manual, especially if it is a hint of where the game is going,
In this Flip Through Matt does his best not to spoil the adventure while chatting about the Tyranny of Dragons for D&D.
Will the cult of the Dragon succeed in freeing Tiamat from her prison? Only you can decide her fate!
Tune-in to the highly anticipated (and hysterical) Dungeons & Dragons live game, Acquisitions Inc. tomorrow night (Saturday, August 30)!
Livestreaming on the D&D site – http://dnd.wizards.com/playevents/conventions/paxprime – the mayhem begins at 8pm PST, and features Jerry Holkins, Mike Krahulik, Scott Kurtz and Morgan Webb as they wade once more into almost certain doom, courtesy of Dungeon Master extraordinaire, Chris Perkins.
Fans attending PAX Prime can watch the mayhem live at Benaroya Hall (seating is first come, first served).
Feel free to share the link to the live stream with your readers, so they too can watch in the awe and amusement!
Thanks,
-Mary-Catherine
