[QUOTE="Echohawk, post: 5722685, member: 9849"] Heh heh. It has been a while, I know. I got distracted by compiling various Collector's Guides, and then became deeply depressed when I realised that my monster index doesn't include the thousands and thousands of D&D adventures that have been released for the various "Living" campaigns over the years, a number of which do include monsters. :eek: Here they come...
