I mean, I thought the 2014 way it did giants and told us about the ordling and all that was really very useful. So I don't know. Do we lose all that? Maybe, you know, maybe that's one of the ways they squeeze some space out. Um, I don't know. How do you feel about that?

um they talked about more monsters that use bloodied as a trigger which is interesting because we you know we saw a ton of that in fourth edition uh bloodied showed up in the player's handbook 2024 so we'll apparently see more that talks about that they also said or inflict exhaustion since we've changed the exhaustion rules and i thought oh i can see sean's face right now uh yeah it

Spell casters will use some of the new 2024 spells, which is not a huge surprise. They talked about more monsters that are thought of as spell casters will have some form of spell casting blocks, such as most of the older dragons. you know, history has often said that they can cast spells and had different ways that represented that.

So here they will have, uh, spellcasting blocks, apparently not the white dragon. Cause it's, uh, Jeremy made some joke, like still learning how spellcasting works or something like that. Okay. Or, or I see dragon.

Um, they mentioned specific monsters that have updates like the Terra ask no longer has to worry about people fighting. It's just a range. A number of species, uh, have art that depicts two genders. So dryad, hags, satyrs, the succubus and incubus are now two different creatures and each have art depicting both genders representing them.

And then the usual thing, I kind of just close with this somewhat for fun. It's the biggest monster manual ever, Sean.

once again yes well you know we have larger font and we have more art and over 80 monsters are being added and that makes me think to myself well what did you take out because somehow when you have larger font and more art you can't do it even when you add pages it's just so hard like just increasing font and art

will automatically be a massive page count right um so are there shorter descriptions are the stat blocks leaner i'm very curious to see what will have changed to make this all work um because just as we talked about with the layout of monsters you know an individual monster usually fitting on a page sometimes two That's your layout to work with.

If your font and your art got bigger or more plentiful, what are you doing? Something has to go away. So I'm very curious. And, you know, folks may think we're just kidding about this. But just last year, last episode, I made a joke about the 2025 MM being bigger as I am today. And since then, I had a friend who gave me the size of the DMG. So here you go. The 2014 DMG.

had 197,000 words, almost 200,000, 197. The 2024 DMG has 188K words. Bigger, more art. Just longer words. It's just longer words. They use longer words. That's all. Yeah. So, you know, you did lose some words in the DMG. It's actually pretty close, right? You know, it's just what is that 9000 words difference that you lost?
