Anyone have Mother of All Encounter Tables?

This recent accessory is a bit different that most stuff coming out, and it's from a popular d20 publisher. But I hanve't heard much on it. Anyone have it?

I'm just waiting for Amazon to take it's own sweet time shipping it to me.

Can't wait, though.

Yep, I picked it up on Wednesday. So far I'm pretty impressed with it. It draws on creatures from the MM, Tome of Horrors, and Creature Collection I. There are also random weather, non-combat encounters, and a caravan generator. I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but I'm definitely going to.

I received a comp copy from TLG and used it just the other night. I don't play d20, but a random came up in my weekly HackMaster game. Normally, I'd roll a d10,000 to determine the monster, but I thought it would be fun to pull down the "Mother" book. Ha! Rolled for a squad of orcs! Sheesh! Talk about mundane! But it was just the luck of the dice. Opened up my trusty Hacklopedia of Beasts and there was a selection of maybe a dozen different types of orcs I could o' thrown at them! They were in a temperate marsh (covered by the "Mother" book), so I threw Bottomland Orcs at them. If you play d20 fantasy, the "Mother" book seems to be just the ticket. Easy to use, reasonable statistical spreads and plausible monsters. I'll take my d10,000 table, though, thank you very much.
