It's sort of like the Dungeon Master's Guide. Which one should you get? I don't know. Level Up Advanced 5e Trials and Treasure is really, really good. 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide is really, really good. 2014 Dungeon Master's Guide has a lot in it that I think was underappreciated. And Tales of the Valiant has a really great Game Master's Guide. Which one should you get? I don't know.

That's a really tough question. I think if you really held my feet to the fire, if you really told me you have to get one of them, I'd probably go with the Tales of the Valiant Game Master's Guide. I think it's got the most table usable stuff in it, but it's missing exploration. Like the fact that it doesn't have a really good exploration section, I think is not fantastic.

I don't remember what the exploration system in the player's guide is good. So I don't know. So then another question comes up to me, which is what am I looking forward to after this? When the Monster Manual is released, which is happening very soon, I'm supposed to get, I don't know if I'm supposed to. Wizards did reach out to me and asked if I wanted to get a preview copy, a review copy.

And I said, sure. So I presume I will be getting review copies. I don't know when. I also pre-ordered a special edition cover version at my local game shop because I want to support my local game shop and I want to own a copy. So I have, you know, actual stake in this. And I'll probably be getting it on D&D Beyond. I will be getting it on D&D Beyond, certainly. And I'm going to buy it for Foundry.

So I'm going to have like five versions of the Monster Manual when we're done. I'm going to dig into it. But then what? Well, then the three core books are out. What are we really waiting for after that? Well, the big thing for me that I'm waiting for that I'm really...

I'm like, oh, is the 5.2 SRD, because that's the point where Wizards of the Coast can really make that Ulysses pact and really do good for the whole RPG community by saying, we spent a ton of time and a ton of money and a ton of energy building this system. And now we're putting it out to the world and you guys can grab it and run with it and do stuff with it. They did it with the 5.1 SRD.

They did it back in 2016. They did it again after the OGL fiasco and put it out in Creative Commons. And they have every indication that said that they're going to do it again. I even got, you know, I've heard recently that they said, no, we're still going to be doing that. Good. And that'll be really good for the community.

I'm looking forward to that a lot because that means the game can live beyond anything else that happens with Wizards of the Coast. And it means that you and I can do what we want with this game truly and share it with other people. And that's going to be fantastic. I'm really looking forward to that. Then what? Well, the next thing on my list is the starter set, right?
