As we roll out some beasties to accompany our array of items, there are a few considerations we'd like your help with! Would you prefer to have the Struggler's Trove be items-only, or should it include monsters? We may make a "bestiary" page for monsters if you'd like them to be kept separate.
Thanks y'all!
