[QUOTE="Darkness, post: 398251, member: 13"] Thanks for reviewing the MM2, Crothian! Yu0 r0x0r! :) Heh. But I still got it after flipping through it in the store today (which is the first day it has been out 'round here). ;) And I [i]love[/i] it! :D See, it has just about everything I want: Sure, some more background details on the monsters would have been nice - but I can live without them, too (especially for the monsters that existed in 2e, like thri-kreen). 'sides, background is easier for me to create than the monsters themselves. Which, BTW, are IMO a good mix of old favorites and interesting, new creatures. (There's far more of the latter, though, and some [i]more[/i] "old favorites" really wouldn't have hurt.) When reading many of the entries, I was instantly hooked and ideas on how to use them in a game came to my mind. Heh. I really want to use many (if not most) of them [i]right now[/i]. :cool: Some particular favorites of mine (for now, that is; I haven't had time to read it all yet, ya know, so I'll certainly find others later and possibly change my mind on a couple of these): Automaton Banshee (BTW: Wow! Nice power boost that they got since 2e! :eek: ) Bladeling Chain Golem Corpse Golem Deathbringer Demon: Kelvezu Elemental Weirds Famine Spirit Fiendwurm Frost Salamander (for the picture, if nothing else :)) Grell (still, they already were covered in 3e, so...) Hellfire Wyrm Ixitxachitl (Yay!!! Everyone's favorite impossible-to-spell, chaotic evil rays are baaack! :D) Jermlaine (At least I think I like them; weren't they the ones who used to shave off all the hair of people they captured in 2e...? :p) Thri-Kreen (Finally balanced! Yay! :D) Death Knight (Even though they already appeared in Dragon) Half Golem (Too bad that they don't have an ECL. ;)) Monster of Legend Spellstitched Titanic Creature Warbeast [/QUOTE]
