About this product

Product Information

Immerse yourself in monster lore in this supplement for the world's greatest roleplaying game This is NOT just another Monster Manual ! Volo's Guide to Monsters provides something exciting for players and Dungeon Masters everywhere. · A deep dive into the lore behind some of D&D's most popular and iconic monsters · Dozens of monsters new to the fifth edition to include in your epic adventures · New playable races to allow you to build characters to fit nearly any type of story in your D&D game. The esteemed loremaster Volothamp Geddarm is back and he's written a fantastical dissertation, covering some of the most iconic monsters in the Forgotten Realms. Unfortunately, the Sage of Shadowdale himself, Elminster, doesn't believe Volo gets some of the important details quite right. Don't miss out as Volo and Elminster square off (academically speaking of course) to illuminate the uninitiated on creatures both common and obscure. Uncover the machinations of the mysterious Kraken Society, what is the origin of the bizarre froghemoth, or how to avoid participating in the ghastly reproductive cycle of the grotesque vargouille. Dungeon Masters and players will get some much-needed guidance as you plan your next venture, traipsing about some dusty old ruin in search of treasure, lore, and let's not forget ... dangerous creatures whose horns, claws, fangs, heads, or even hides might comfortably adorn the walls of your trophy room. If you survive. Research has never been so dangerous!

  • Nice quality and great supplement for any DM or player

    I expected the book to only contain new monsters but was pleasantly surprised to see it included a number of new races as well. Came in very good quality, worth the $20 -odd dollars I spent on it.

  • Expand your game

    Volo’s Guide is a moderately sized supplement expanding your D&D 5E games. The book is divided into three parts. The first describes the societies of several iconic monsters and their kin, including goblinoids, orc, and even mind flayers!! The second part provides rules for creating using “monster” races as PCs and NPCs. The third part is an expansion of the Monster Manual, focusing primarily on monsters related to those described in the first two parts, from rare goblinoids to the physical manifestations of beholder dreams! All together, I would recommend this product to anyone interested in delving into these monsters. However if your interest is just playing a single, non-standard race, D&D’s downloadable content may be an easier and less expensive option. I still rate this product five starts, the amount of material in Volo’s Guide really adds to my campaign!

  • Comes in handy!

    It comes in handy making characters and learning more about various beasts. Certainly helped a friend out in making a lizardfolk character.

  • Great for GMs and Players alike

    This book opened up a more complicated look into the lives of monsters, and how they act or would go about their daily lives. On top of complimenting the already existing monsters, it adds new player races for even more diversity and a wider role playing experience. DEFINITELY worth investing into after the core 3 set

  • Great Expansion

    This product is a great expansion that provides extra lore on enemies and their culture, new races for players, and a lot more monsters. It expands on the three core rule books and providess many more ideas for players and GMs alike. I would highly recommend it to any player that wants to play a more unique class or a GM that wants to populate the world with more creatures and sociieties.

  • Top-level content for mid-level campaigns

    Lore for many of the popular enemy races - beholders, orcs, gnolls, hags, yuan-ti and more - as well as a heap of new monsters. Monstrous player races, too. A good buy for a dedicated DM.

  • Wotc his it or of the park!

    Part monster manual expansion, part monster ecology like the old dragon magazine articles. 100% awesome. This book adds a lot dimension to some of the more iconic monsters of D&D as well as adding in some very interesting new pc fodder. Well written, well illustrated. I think most DM's will be pleased by the addition of this book to their collection.
