Official Description
Here's the Wizards of the Coast official description for Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes to help whet our appetites:
This tome is built on the writings of the renowned wizard from the world of Greyhawk, gathered over a lifetime of research and scholarship. In his travels to other realms and other planes of existence, he has made many friends, and has risked his life an equal number of times, to amass the knowledge contained herein. In addition to Mordenkainen's musings on the endless wars of the multiverse, the book contains game statistics for dozens of monsters: new demons and devils, several varieties of elves and duergar, and a vast array of other creatures from throughout the planes of existence.
Final Thoughts
As excited as I was for Xanathar's Guide To Everything, I'm more psyched for Mordenkainen’s . I'm hoping this latest book will open up new adventures and stories based in legendary Greyhawk, one of the earliest D&D campaign settings. Fingers crossed!
Until next time fellow travelers! Happy adventuring!
