Are you planning to buy the 4E MM2?

  • Yup. I'm super-excited about it. Two-headed orange monkey-demons rule, and you KNOW it.

I like the cover of MM2 quite a bit...i even got the Aspect of Demogorgon in the mail yesterday. But, as far as the rules themselves between the covers...i hope it's better than the MM 1. I didn't really like it very much. I'll still buy it though, i'm a sucker for monster manuals.

I am in the once bitten twice shy camp. I'll wait and thumb through it before I decide to buy or not. If it sees as much use as the core Monster Manual I probably won't buy it.
 

I love monster books and even get ones for games I don't play, so I expect eventually I'll be picking this up for the art and the demogorgon write up even though I don't currently play 4e.

But I've got a ton of 3e monster books to still get first and it won't be a priority among the non 3e ones I buy.
 

None for me, thanks.

Any money I might have spent on 4e (don't play it) has been instead funneled to my new vice that is slot machines. :)
 


I'm all over the MMII like a two-headed tentacle monkey! I can't wait to see what kinds of monsters and cool ideas we get once 4e has been out for a year, so its a no-brainer I'll buy this.
 

I wasn't overly enthusiastic about MM1, so we'll see what this one is like. MM are useful though, and I'm a big fan of monsters books - not so much for their content as for their concepts. Concepts you can take and use in any game, and a lot of the mechanics is easily converted as well. Let's put it this way - I'll pick it up to pull it apart.

Which reminds me that I've bought monsterbooks i knew i wouldn't use (not just dnd), only for the art and inspiration.

But on the whole, I wasn't impressed by the 1st MM's art direction (too many ugly / cartoony monsters)

As for the flavour text, well, you know...
