Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Do you Reskin very many Monsters, or do you just use what's in the MM?

Use them straight out of the book, use them slightly tweaked (e.g. an otherwise standard goblin tribe with some odd change), proper reskin (e.g. kobolds into red caps), and make them up out of whole cloth.  However the monster gets made, about 50% to 60% of them in a campaign are standard for that campaign.  I like for the players to be surprised.  I also equally enjoy that the players who pay attention can learn about the monsters of the campaign and use that to their advantage.
