[QUOTE="Blair Goatsblood, post: 4479174, member: 29730"] I've been going over my collection of pre-4E adventures as fodder for my campaign...and I keep hitting the "monster speedbump" And a lot of those monsters, if they weren't in the 3.5 MM, they were in Tome of Horrors. It's too bad that because of the GSL Necromancer won't be doing a 4E Tome of Horrors, as I was drooling over the possibility. Hopefully they'll find the new GSL agreeable enough to publish Folio of Fiends, but.... I NEED MY OLD-SCHOOL D&D MONSTERS AND I NEED THEM NOW!! Kruthiks? Banshrae? Swordwings? To me they're the Tojanada/Ravid/Phantom Fungi of 4E. They got no "traction" in my imagination. Where's the frogs? apes? carnivorous dinosaurs? Less "unique snowflakes" and more meat and potatoes archetypical swords & sorcery beasties please. I've been making my own monsters. I've been scouring the internet for fan conversions/creations. I frantically read reviews of 4E adventures to find out what monsters are within them. [B]I am planning on buying adventurers vault soley for the shark/triceratops/giant lizard/etc stats [/B](ps. more than just a bare-bones stat-block would have been greatly appreciated...) But....I was able to DM my 3.5 campaign using MM I & Tome of Horrors for 95% of the monsters. I don't want to deal with a unwieldy stack of books/printouts/adventures and a laptop while DMing in order to have a respectable selection of foes. I've been really happy with 4E otherwise, but as a 1st ed. D&D/RE Howard/Fritz Leiber/CA Smith fanboy, the 4E Monster Manual selection is a huge disappointment. [/QUOTE]
