Saving Throes # 110 - Spotlight: The Monster Overhaul

Red Rooster

Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across.

The Monster Overhaul was a third part supplement that I kept hearing about - how great it was, and how no DM should be without it. I ran across it at my local game store at some point last year, so I decided to give it a chance. I hadn't really opened it much for the first number of months, but once I finally got around to it, I was shocked at what I found. To call this a simple monster supplement really undersells what this book actually is. It is much more of a DMs toolkit for running monsters that feel truly a part of the world you are running in. I had some lofty expectations from this book based on all the hype it had been getting - tune in to see if it met my expectations after having read through it.
