It could have done with having more space since the topic is huge (and not self-restricted like Lords of Madness). But it provides lots of useful expansion material for Undead (e.g. creating a need for the Vampire to feed - which didn't exist before). I like this book a lot.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Lords of Madness: is a cracking good read. That said, it consists of lots of material that might be entirely irrelevant to many campaigns (e.g. I don't run star-spanning campaigns so I don't get any value in the Illithid background). Plus I didn't like the frequent references to older products - the game today is different. Still, though I won't get as much use from it, it will get some use.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Whereas Draconomicon is an example of a D&D coffee table book. It's very pretty - enough so that non-D&Ders have bought it to my knowledge. But actual use? Very limited. D&D makes the use of dragons somewhat awkward, and I didn't find the book really addressed that. Still, it looks pretty on the shelf!</li> </ol></blockquote>
