[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 8256504, member: 70"] I've never even heard of Cawood Publishing. I'll look it up. Kobold Press I have. I have issues with Monte Cook that go back a while, so I don't support him any more. I didn't realize he was doing 5e material, but it doesn't really surprise me...oh, wait. He was redoing Ptolus? Is Sandy Petersen Legendary Games? They've got a lot of stuff out. Not sure I've seen larger monster books though. I'll look. The 15 monsters for $19.99 softcovers really don't do it for me. No, apparently that's Jason Nelson & Co? Sandy Petersen is Petersen Games? The website is...not helpful. No 5e material indicated, no monster books? A lot of Cthulu stuff; not really my bag, like IK. And most of Monte's stuff. Cawood looks...possible. Printed book price is pretty good via DMG. I'm not sure why these didn't pop up for me before; not like I haven't searched for monster books on there before... Thanks!
