The Lazy RPG Podcast - D&D and RPG News and GM Prep from Sly Flourish
Challenge Rating Deep Dive – Lazy RPG Talk Show

These guys are really, really tough. So anyway, that is probably the only major content change. We had some fun stuff. We had some fun stuff. Like one of the things we have in here is a recognition that there are many versions of 5e and that there are different monsters from 5e. But the D&D 2024 Monster Manual wasn't out when we originally published this.

But since it was only digital, we had the option of like tweaking it. So we have things that say the D&D 2024 Monster Manual includes a conversion guide for creatures whose names changed from D&D 2014 Monster Manual. That way we didn't have to change all the monsters from like thug to tough and remove the drow stat block and stuff like that.

We just say, look, if you're using D&D 2024, it has a conversion guide. Use that instead. So we didn't go back and like re-change everything based on D&D 2024 because Tales of the Valley didn't change. The 2014 monster manual didn't change. The 5.1 SRD didn't change. All the other books that have all those other monsters didn't change either. So we want to have those in there.

So we have a chapter in the back that talks about like, what are your other monster? What monsters are common among all of those books? What monsters can you replace from one to the other? Like if you're using a Balor general, what other stat blocks should you use depending on what version of D&D you have? And then we say like D&D 2014.

With a due delivery to us by the end of March. In the end of March, we will receive, or they will, we are not going to receive this. I've got pallets of books show up in my living room. Thank God. But we are, they will be off to our distributors, our fulfillment companies. We have two different fulfillment companies, three actually. Because we don't talk about tariffs.
