2ed Monstrous Manual Pics

[Marius Delphus]

Actually, I own the old 2ed Monstrous Manual, but I just needed the pics on my computer. I was actually planning on doing a side by side comparison of the old art compared to the new art (1st compared to 2nd compared to 3rd and sometimes 3.5). I thought it might be fun, but I had no way of getting the pics onto my computer.

It does sound like fun, and I don't mean to be a wet blanket at all. Dragons, intellect devourers, and displacer beasts alone would probably make interesting comparisons.

And I'm not trying to play "copyright cop." But it turns out a copy of the 2E Monstrous Manual on the Web (however adapted) is quite clearly an illegal copy, and so is anything downloaded from it. (I'm leaving out any form of discussion on legality as an effective constraint on private behavior, as it's way off topic and, after all, the moderators are watching. )

Tonguez, in the last 2,272 posts have you somehow missed the fact that copyrighted and non-OGL material shouldn't be linked from here? Even if it's out of print, having a monster manual online is stealing. I've deleted your link.

I know you were just trying to be helpful, which is great, but please keep legality in mind next time. Thanks!

oops sorry - that point (excellent point too) never even came to mind. Sorry

No worries. Just keep it in mind for next time, please.

And with that? Closed goes the thread!
