[QUOTE="Mannahnin, post: 8705509, member: 7026594"] Were they? [S]My recollection is indeed that the MC1 had all the "core" common monsters, and that MC2 was much more of a supplement, with weirder stuff in it. I definitely was one of those who bought 1 but not 2. [/S]Edit: my recollection was wrong! Certainly that was the case with the original Monster Manual and Monster Manual 2 for 1E. The main thing MM2 had going for it was the revised random encounter system and charts, although in retrospect those expanded charts were totally wrongheaded and more space should have been devoted to explaining to DMs how to construct their own more useful 6-10 entry charts for a given play area.
