The Lazy RPG Podcast - D&D and RPG News and GM Prep from Sly Flourish
Monster Manual Concerns – Lazy RPG Talk Show

One of the things that monster books, I think, could do a better job at is telling you what monsters work well with other monsters. It's one of those angles that's kind of hard to do. In Forge of Foes, we actually have a section that talks about this. We have monsters by environment.

And so they have example are forged lords, which would be mountains, clockwork, mechadrons, robots and stuff like that. And it talks about what are the groups that would exist at a various tier.

Blah, blah, blah, blah.
