However, most of the monsters you get there (like the Hyena), won’t have the chance to appear in your campaign. The MM is packed with tons of great content and beautiful artwork. Having the experience to read all the monster descriptions and lair actions is something unique. If you’re a DM (or a curious player), you’ve read the Monster Manual for sure, haven’t you? That’s because you’re not playing on Tyler Kamstra’s table. What comes to mind? Someone strong enough to hold a flaming magic sword and a shield? Some ranger shooting multiple arrows directly into the mouth of a big red dragon? or maybe an old man, a wizard, holding a staff and casting fireball?
Okay, nevermind, don’t close your eyes or you won’t be able to read the rest of the blog post.
…Now close your eyes and imagine a D&D party. A blessed being (Tyler Kamstra) made a homebrew document by transforming all the creatures of the Monster Manual into playable races, including the beloved Tarrasque.
