D&D has finally completed its initial wave of revamps with the 2024 Monster Manual—confusingly released in 2025, but I don't make the rules—and, after a read through, I'm downright conflicted.
Being a recent PF2e convert, I've been quite grumpy about these new books (the Player's Handbook in particular). As a point of personal opinion, I think the exercise of revamping the 2014 ruleset instead of doing something new is a mistake. Still, it's what WoTC is doing, and I've been assessing these books on their merit. I even found a decent amount to like in the Dungeon Master's Guide, which had more boons than banes between its pages.
