    What book should I get? Suggestions, please.

    I think the errata add-on also needed errata. :p Which is sad... but I still find it useful and idea-generating, which is important.

    You're entitled to your opinion of liking poorly statted out creatures then :)

    FFG - Recommendations

    The class books are, IMO, sucky to mediocre. I'd avoid them. Portals and Planes is pretty good with some good ideas and nifty info. Dungeonscape is not bad. The rules for creating random dungeons are pretty good. Kinda underwhelming though. Monster's Handbook was great back when it was...

    What book should I get? Suggestions, please.

    Yep, though I now find Dungeon much more worthwhile than Dragon... most of the time. I'd certainly recommend Dungeon over Dragon. I never said that. It's not a bad book, but I don't consider it particularly good. Prolly on par with MMII. Yeah, then look at the rest of the crap in the book...

    Fiendish lore question--what makes a fiend become unique?

    Demon Prince = sheer perseverance and an overwhelming sense of hate, wrath, chaos and evil. Devil Noble = promotion usually via Asmodeus or another ArchDevil. FCII is pretty explicit on the whole deal actually IIRC. I'm sure that Faces of Evil prolly talks about the subject, but I don't know...

    What book should I get? Suggestions, please.

    PHB2 is fantastic in the feats and spells section. Really good, but there are... more useful books out there. I *like* the base classes too, but others do not. IMO, the basic is the best and you really should get it IF you want illustrations and ip-protected critters that aren't in the SRD...

    Guns, D&D, and DDM

    Yep. Ditto that. :)

    What monster type do you use / encounter the least?

    Yep. Even if the players never fight the dragon, they know it's there, I make sure of that. ;) For me, it's not really about the silly aspect, just the fact that I run more urban or dungeon/ruin based games. Plants, very rarely, fit into such games. Meanwhile constructs, demons, humanoids, and...

    Dungeonscape ToC

    I thought was what gelatinous cubes were for? Or maybe... :) Finally, a base class that let's me play a gelatinous cube!

    What monster type do you use / encounter the least?

    Plants or Oozes, though I think oozes may take the edge here. Dragons are pretty close, but when I use them, I USE them (if that makes any sense).

    No Second Edition Love?

    I started playing during 2e so I have a certain nostalgic fondness for the game, but, that said, I don't think I'd want to go back to playing it. Everything I liked about 2e (flavor) is easily ported into my 3.5 game so there's no real reason to go back.

    Fiendish Codex Malebranche question

    That's what I like, pluses are just boring. Gimme a sword that bursts into flame, holy light, is really keen, etc rather than something that is just +3. It's all about style. :)

    Piratecat ruined my D&D game

    Well, that's kinda the point of Cthulhu. ;) Either kill 'em or drive 'em insane.

    Slaad replacements

    Use Hoardlings. They were updated in a somewhat recent issue of Dungeon (the one with the Whispering Cairn adventure). Change their alignment to just CN and voila, chaos exemplars. Portals and Planes had Chaos Minions which seemed pretty good from what I remember. Denizens of Avadnu has the...

    What Monsters Are Commonly Used In Your Game?

    COMMON: Classed Humanoids (mostly humans, those damn dirty humans!) Demons (I generally use whichever type is appropriate for the current game as demons can be pretty varied) Undead (mostly zombfies, skeletons, ghouls, ghasts, and mummies interspersed with wraiths, wights, real vampires (vampire...

    Would you be satisifed with d20 as your only RPG? [Ties into RyanD's blog entry.]

    Considering that I only play d20 D&D right now, I'd have to say yes. Though I'd at least like to try some other systems (WHFRP2, WH40k, maybe GURPS.... maybe), but the list is really, really short.
