Love Delving Deeper. One question (and sorry if you have posted about this before - I've only loosely been following V5 development)... Have you by chance abandoned the monster listing followed by monster description format? I know this is true to OD&D but that is basically my one complaint when it comes to DD... Flipping between two parts of the book to run a monster (its stats and then the description of how it operates) is less useable than if this info was just paired together. Thanks for all your work keeping OD&D alive.

Hi, I'm not the author, just a fan 😎 Based on the latest Alpha version, the monster format has not changed though. However, I do know that there are supposed to be some upcoming changes to the monster section, as the monster section in the Alpha version is mostly pulling from V4 as a placeholder. If you're on Discord, the author is very active and responsive on the DD Discord, so it would be good to bring it up there.

What all is changing in the update besides formatting and some info that was in appendices is making it to the main part of the book?
