D&D’s revised Monster Manual is tackling one of the game’s biggest hangups—and adding a new menu of BBEGs: ‘We wanted the Tarrasque to have some fighting buddies’

D&D is about to finish its big 2024 overhaul—and while I’ve got my opinions on the whole exercise, I’ve not been a complete curmudgeon about it.
