D&D Live – Looking at Monster Stats Through the Years

This week we are going to take a look at how D&D monster stat blocks have changed over the years. We’ll look at some monsters that have been around from the beginning, see how their abilities have changed, and discuss which version had the best format.

And then we play D&D 4e. I will continue the play through of Keep on the Shadowfell. We will tackle the next combat encounter as the party engages with a group of Kobolds outside their lair.

This will be an open demo as I share everything I would do as the DM and the community helps me make decisions. I am not exactly sure how this will play out, but we will give it a try. And along the way we will talk about whatever other 4e (or D&D in general) topics come up.

I also got some stuff from Noble Knight Games so I will open up that box live on the stream.

I will be using the pre-generated Quick Start characters from Keep on the Shadowfell. You can get this module for FREE from DriveThruRPG… https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/110212/H1-Keep-on-the-Shadowfell–QuickStart-Rules-4e?affiliate_id=3534523
