Sneak Preview of New MHMM Design & Progress Update

Hello Everyone!

I know that sometimes I am quiet on the Patreon with what I am working on and usually very active in the work in progress channel in the discord, but I wanted to make sure you all knew I am still working hard on this update and that adding one monster can sometimes lead to formatting and editing 6+ pages to make it work, which is also why it can take a while to update these manuals.

The first big update is that I updated the background to the MHMM. Its the same image but a webp file, which reduced the full version I download from almost 1gb down to around 300mb. Once optimized this drops it down to around 54mb for all of you. This is before I add another 150 pages (estimate) though, so the size is going to increase. I believe it will still remain smaller than the previous version though.

Currently I have finished Amphibians, Bird Wyverns, Brute Wyverns, Carapaceons, and Cephalopods for a total of 45 new pages added so far. I am working through adding the Subspecies to the elder dragons followed by all the new flying wyverns from Wilds. This is most likely going to still take me a couple weeks to complete, but I will take some breaks to work on this months voted on hunt range and monster along with trying to get another set of part breaks in.

In addition to that I am changing up the look a tiny bit in the MHMM. I am shift away from the rust reddish color of the font which was the default on GMBinder since the dawn of time.

I lightened up the parchment background a little to make it easier to read some of the older dark spots on the stat blocks. I also changed the color to green which is my favorite color. For the most part the stat blocks themselves remain the same outside of that. The loot tables have changed more.

The first you might notice is the table at the top has changed. It fits the shift to the new theme, but its also shorter than the previous loot table version. I tightened up the spacing between the item and their description, but I also did the same thing with the space above and below the table. The carve chance and capture chance have also been renamed to carve and capture, pushing them more to the left of the table and giving the material name more room to breath.

For some, I think it will take a tiny bit of time to get used to the new changes after 6 years of being roughly how they were, but I like the new format. It feels more me than WotC. I hope you like it as well and feel free to let me know what you think here or in the discord.
