If you're not aware, the Monster Manual, the 2025 Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual, some of us have received review copies. And I did receive a review copy.

They were under an NDA, so they couldn't really talk much about it until I think like last week. And then even then they could not show anything that was actually in the book. We are not, I am not so constrained. I can actually, I can show stuff. Look at that. Oh, don't blur the video, but I'm going to be doing that in a couple of weeks. I am going to do a quick review.

I'm going to talk about it a little bit today, but I've only had a day with it. And even though I'd spent a fair bit of time with it during that day, I spent most of yesterday digging into it. I am not ready to do a show segment on it. And in fact, what we're going to do is in two weeks, I'm going to do a whole show where we do nothing but talk about the D&D 2025 Monster Manual.

He's not able to share the spreadsheet, but he has a spreadsheet where he recorded basically all of the baseline stats for every monster in it so that he could do an analysis of things like armor class and hit points and attack bonuses and damage output and things like that so that he could do a true analysis of what was going on there.
