Especially considering how many monsters in D&D are sapient and even have their own cultures. (These are the most likely to get multiple write-ups, as far as I can see.) If we assume that a large adventure is focused around 4 races providing the typical foes for an adventure, and one adventure lasts enough for one level, this means you could get one full 1-30 levels spanning campaigns from the MM without ever repeating an existing species for more then the single adventure focussing on them. I think that would be a good baseline. After 30 levels of play, I am fine with buying new material, or creating my own monsters - if I really don't want to see an "old" monster again.</blockquote>
