MONSTERS OF DRAKKENHEIM is 300+ pages of eldritch horror inspired monsters for 5e by the Dungeon Dudes! Coming to Kickstarter March 26th, 2024: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dungeondudes/monsters-of-drakkenheim-5e We do an analysis of our own play groups, and use the stats of real characters to compare to the Challenge Ratings presented in the DMG and Monster Manual. Then we ask the question, how do we fix this and build balanced combat encounters.
