This was my first Kenzer book, as it is very light on Kingdoms of Kalamar campaign specific material. VDH has a chapter on stereotypes, and a chapter on archetypes ( deviants, devoted, fallen, inhuman, power mad and visionary )and then a short chapter on thought processess, motivations and schemes of the villain. I'd have to describe the VDH as fluff heavy.Monte's material is usually fluff lite. BoVD's coolness IMO is the crunchy stuff. New rules and descriptions of the truly "inhuman" brand of evil. If you want something broader in scope that will help you create all types of villians, not just the inhuman or deviant archetypes that the BoVD focuses on, then you should give the VDH a closer look -  here's a link to the 3 reviews posted on ENWorld:<a href="http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/reviews/index.php?sub=yes&where=currentprod&which=kokv" target="_blank">http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/reviews/index.php?sub=yes&where=currentprod&which=kokv</a>Personally, I feel the books are very complimentary, and am glad I have them both.</blockquote>
