Mastering Dungeons
5E Stat Block Changes and Building the Perfect Campaign Guide! (MD 209)

You want to say, well, my dwarf had nothing to do with mining. So I'm gonna remove this trait and replace it with this trait because my dwarf grew up in a merchant human city. You can do all of that, build your own heritages from scratch, et cetera. We give you a new class called the Monster Hunter, and then new and updated subclasses for not just the Monster Hunter, but for all of the classes.

So all the ones that were in the previous book will be updated for 2024, and we will give you at least one and maybe more new subclasses for each class. The transformations, if you have always wanted to use lycanthropy or vampirism or all of this stuff that's in our lore but has never been modeled really well with D&D rules, we give you transformations that will allow you to do that.

Updating all the transformations that have been there and adding some new ones as well. new spells, new and updated backgrounds and feats to match the 2024 rules, new and updated special equipment in the Player's Guide, and more! And you can't have a great campaign without having some adventures. So we are also offering five or possibly more with stretch goals, adventures, one for each region.

So if you wanna specifically set your campaign in a particular region, you can look at this adventure and it will give you a way to kick off your campaign and to show you what sorts of campaigns you can play in that particular region. And if all of that's not enough, you know how lots of Kickstarters say, we will support you choose a virtual tabletop and you will be supported.

We give you that for D and D beyond. So if you choose D and D beyond as your virtual, uh, play play area of choice, you'll be able to pick D and D beyond, and you will be able to purchase that material from the player's guide ahead of time. Wow. Where do I get this, Sean? You can go to kickstarter.com and search for Grim Hollow Transformed and you will see it all.

So when was the last time you slept? Oh, it's been a while. I haven't slept well in a while. Let's put it that way. But we're getting a cool book, so it's all right. You are getting a couple of cool books, some cool adventures, and possibly more. We may have more to discuss as the Kickstarter progresses. So keep an eye on this space.

Yes, the sleep. My sleep has been used in the ink that prints these books. I can't wait to get my hands on this. Awesome. And then the resin that makes up all the cool minis and other maps and everything that you can buy. Ghostfire does an incredible job with its manufacturing of stuff. So I'm not a big collector, but if I were, I would be all over this.

We had a question, and the question led to some thought, and that thought led to this main topic. But first, let's go take a quick glance, if you will, at stat blocks in 2024. Obviously, we have not yet seen the monster manual. But we do see the new stat block in the Player's Handbook. We also got a preview of some monsters. I think the Kuo-Toa and the Ancient Ring Dragon.
