Themed monster manual instead of random mob selection plz

[Vellrad]

Hi, idea is simple, instead of making monster manual filled with random mobs unrelated to eachother, make few volumes that have monsters linked through some theme, for example:

• Dragon Manual:
  Contains:
  • White Dragon
  • Blue Dragon
  • Red Dragon
  • Green Dragon
  • Black dragon
  • Undead Dragon
  • etc
  
  Basically, all dragons
• Tome of the Spider-Queen
  Contains
  • Drow
  • Yuan-ti
  • Dretch
  • Purple Worm
  • Glablezu
  • Drider
  • Gorristo
  • Bebilith
  • Draegloth
  • etc
  
  Basically, mobs from MotU
• Monsters of Cormyr:
  Contains:
  • Bear
  • Griphon
  • Harpy
  • Satyr
  • Plants
  • Shadow
  • Shadar-kai
  • Frost Giant
  • Shade
  • etc
  
  Basically, mobs from non-MotU FR quests

Pricing: all monster manuals costs 595TP and consists of 10 creatures.
Themed MMs should cost 60TP* number of monster types inside, and of course, be part of VIP subscribtion.

No. My MMs are full of random monsters, and so should be DDOs. And for that matter, your "themes" aren't. I mean why in the heck would Frost Giant be in Monsters of Cormyr and not, say Giants. Since they existed before Cormyr was even added to the game?

Nope, terrible idea.

I like the idea, but I feel the timing is too late to be consistent with what we already have. I wouldn't mind being able to sort/select MM entries by volume, though.

That bit^.

I can see where the mixed selection of mobs in each manual volume ensures that there are mobs of interest to at least some folks & not alienating anyone with thematically targeted volumes.


Most importantly - I am just pleased as heck they decided to renew MM development.
