you were the one that got me into d&d in the first place. I just wanted to thank you for that.

"This book is not a monster manual. It is kind of a small monster manual."

Nice.

[frostydog]

i like how it talks about iconic monsters in the first chapter, yet there aren't any dragons. you know the title creature of the franchise

[DungeonDad]

Definitely worth the money. Especially if you're way in to monster lore.

Just got Volo's yesterday, I like it, ive heard some complaints about not enough stat blocks, but I appreciate the lore and background stuff, cause as a DM its a great mine for Ideas and concepts. Also that limited edition cover is awsome, which I can't believe I was still able to get at my local store lol. Great Video.

Received my Volo's Guide to Monsters today. I cover my books with a brown paper grocery bag paper. I am tough on books so I try to keep the covers protected. I did this with my original first edition AD&D books which I still have. They still look pretty good.

That is a Ki-Rin on the first inside page, Nate.

4:42 pause it. If you don’t see it try 4:41 or 4:43

[gregorytobin]

thanks for making this video short and sweet, all other reviews were like 2 hours long haha

[IamEN]

The more proprietary and entrenched in a house setting they make it, the less interesting it is to me. This book is definitely on that side of things.

Man I want that book... Very informative. My problem is whenever I go to look at one its covered in plastic. So thanks for showing us the inside. Those extra races and roleplaying styles for monsters is very very tempting!

[Artemisthemp]

Crazier things have happened.

Like 3 players all playing Fighter and human and yet playing 3 Diffrent styles.

Seem like Everyone forgot Yuan-ti Pureblood as playable race in VGM

[christianoliver]

Thanks for the review. I've seen other reviews elsewhere, but really found your approach and flip through informative. Volo's Guide has been added to my "need to buy" list.

Soy milk thats what I use to tell my mother, when i was much younger and she did my laundry.

Goliaths were in the Elemental Evil Player's Companion which is a free PDF on Wizard's DnD site and is usable in Adventure League.

[NumbLock]

just ordered my copy. should come tomorrow. art looks great.

[MiniTerrainDomain]

Great review, Nate! If I didn't already own it, I would want to buy it.

[trashfire]

That collectors edition! 😚

I got my regular edition, and I love it!

[WhatsUpGazpacho]

I mean great to have a flip through and I appreciate that but like 2 minutes of just looking at the front cover? It's a great cover and I want the book solely because of it but damn, had to skip a lot. Short for sounding quite negative I just wanted to leave honest feedback but thanks for the video though.

[zynthio]

I didn't know this limited edition was a thing before watching this. I was already teetering on picking up the book itself. But now I have paused at 2:38 and gone and ordered one of the limited edition copies.
Impulse buy that I know I will be satisfied with. That cover is seeping coolness.
Now I will resume the video
