D&D 2E AD&D Monstrous Compendium 2

[R_J_K75]

One creature that was really cool was the Blackball, I think that's what it was called. Pretty sure it was in the softbound Mystara monstrous compendium. It was basically a living Sphere of Annihilation that roamed the world and destroyed everything in its path.

That's another one I have never seen.

Me too but I intentionally sold a bunch of stuff and unfortunately that one perished.

Yeah, I looked it up after you mentioned it. I've never even seen that compendium. I don't know anything about Mystara.

I never played in Mystara and that MC is about as much Ive ever read into the setting. 8000 XP is a joke.

I miss the old 2e style monster stat blocks and all the habitat and ecology stuff. It was like reading an encyclopedia entry. I like how the combat stuff is streamlined in 5e without having to line hunt for details, but there's something about the old ones I prefer even now.
