Tome of Beasts 2 by Kobold Press empty

October 15 (4 years ago)

I was delighted when I saw that Kobold Press today put out some more interesting new monsters for 5e. So I spent some money and purchased it, but was frustrated to see that only the names of the beasts was in the compendium, no real content. I really hope this will be fixed before saturday when I might need it.

A couple of years ago, when I still was working in IT business, it was normal for software releases to be tested before the developers put it to market. That seems to have changed, but I don't understand why.

Hi Linda,

What behaviour are you seeing? If you own the book on Roll20, navigating to this link will show you a full list of all the creatures in the game, you can click any of the links to go to the relevant monster's page.

Additionally, they can be imported into the game by dragging them from the compendium panel into the VTT. Further information on how to do that is accessible here.

Please let me know if neither of these resources help solve your problem.

That link did not seem to work for me yesterday evening... but after a refreshing night it works now, so i might have been too quick.

Please be noted that the first two links on the main page of the compendium https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Tome%20of%20Beasts%202#content lead to generic monster lists that are not filtered and do not contain the possibility to filter on ToBII (and/or wildemount - skimming through the options quickly).

After a few hours sleeping it seems to work now. Maybe it was too new, and now after some time the installation is complete. Thanks a lot, whoever did it.

Linda, what are your thoughts regarding the content generally speaking?

In my groups are always some players who know each monster from MM, MTOF and VG in every detail. To be able to surprise them I often use other monsters - in many cases self-created, but with the Creature Codex, TOB 1 and TOB 2 I can save a lot of time... and there are often some really funny ideas in these books. I like them.
