There are dozens of great monsters in this supplement, but there are also a number of typos and mechanical errors in the statistics (such as a Tiny monster having d12 HP instead of d4 HP). Overall I would certainly recommend picking up a PDF of the book, but recognize that you may need to rewrite some of the stat blocks.

A compilation by numerous creators on the Dungeon Masters Guild, this product includes over 100 monsters... and most of them are just adequate. About 2/3 are from other Dungeon Masters Guild products... not a problem per se, but something about the way they did it makes this feel like a promotional item. (A few, custom-made for specific adventures, also seem odd outside of that context.) Furthermore, a significant number of the monsters are not original creations, but modifications of existing monsters; many come off a bit like filler, not far beyond what a mildly experienced DM could create on their own. Another handful are conversions of older-edition monsters (which isn't good or bad, really, but also a little odd and filler-y). On top of all this, the work also has some minor design hiccups and typos - none really being deal-breakers, but they give the work an amateurish feel (especially since the errors are still there, on a digital-first product, two years after they were pointed out by commenters).

Still, Monsters of the Guild does offer a large number of monsters, and there's something to be said for quantity. It also isn't without highlights, including:

• Cackling zombies
• The chart attack, which teleports the unwary to random locations
• The ooze dragon, a straightforward but fun hybrid concept
• Arcane and habilis oozes, both trouble for wizards
• The Potato Sack Man, which is basically also a self-contained adventure
• The tomb spider and its web mummy hosts
• The yantra, straddling the line between golem and robot

Overall, though, I was disappointed in this product. It's not terrible, but I expected a lot more. Glad I didn't spring for the print edition. (Originally posted on Goodreads)

I did a review of this product over on my YouTube channel as well as a list of my 10 favorite monsters from it! I bought the physical book last year and I have used several of these stat blocks in my campaigns, but I brought up some of the errors I had in my physical copy. Glad you all are updating the .PDF!

just got it in the mail today! read through it and LOVED all of the cool sinister creations made in this book! I saw soooo many things i will use for my current campaign, my players have NO IDEA what's ahead of them now!! MWAHAHAHA thank you to all the artists/writers and everyone who collaborated to make such an awesome publication!! I LOVE IT!!!!!

Thanks to everyone who contributed. It is a wonderful product and I'm excited to use these monsters in my games!

Great book! Looks nice sitting up with the rest of the 5e material I have on my bookshelf! Using the PDF has made it really easy to import monsters into my Roll20 game too! If you ever add a Roll20 module though, you'll be getting another sale from me!

This is a great book, one which fits perfectly alongside the rest of any D&D collection. It is clearly a labour of love and the all the contributors deserve our hearty thanks.

ordered this awesome book in hardback and i have to say its worth ever penny. beautifully laid out with old school art work and a easy to read, reminisent of the original fiend folio of 1st edition days.

bravo to everyone involved, community at its best

This book is beautiful! I have the hard cover copy and it's a joy to read through. I love all the monsters, and there are some amazing gems I can't wait to use in here!

Also I love the community aspect of it; seeing all the dungeon master's faces at the front gives the book a warm, homely feeling which I think is needed more on the Guild.

Highly recommended purchase!

This thing feels like a Triple-A title, it smells like a Triple-A title and it just has the content for a tirple A title. This is not just an average DM's Guild release. This is the aftermath of months of hard work from some very well talented people. Here's my full video review; https://youtu.be/zl5lDxXdqDo

Love this supplement! The massive collaboration that was needed to make it come together is a feat unto itself. The monsters are very diverse not only in type, but in CR. Many completely new monsters to the guild, and some great fan favorites from across some of the best work on the DMsguild. The artwork is fantastic, a real through back to the good ol days. Well done!

An amazing product from an amazing group of creators, I could spend all day gushing about the amount of interesting and unique monsters in here, but I won't and I shouldn't, buy this product take a look for yourself I guarntee you will find something your players have never seen before providing a unique and memorable experience.

This product was over hyped for the lack luster monsters presented. I expected new and creative monsters what I received were variants and conversions of previous editions monsters. Some of these conversions were not even credited for their existing in previous editions.

Well worth the money. Many original creatures, along with some classics from past editions, all across the spectrum of CR's. I will be using many of them in my campaigns and adventures to throw stuff at my players that I can guarantee they haven't seen before. :)
