Fiendish Codex III: Yugoloths poll

[Nifft]

Already have the book in question - It's called Book of Fiends by Green Ronin

I like their ... what were they called? Those ancient abyssal critters which mixed in Far Realms-esque elements of alien insanity with their chaos and evil?

Qlippoth was their name. Was cool to see them influence/transition into what would be FC:I's Obyriths.

The Far Realm gets a few mentions in Lords of Madness and the Epic Level Handbook and once in a while gets trotted out in Dragon.

Spelljammer gets a controversial reinventing in Polyhedron, a tiny mention in Lords of Madness, and, IIRC, one article in Dragon since the aforementioned Polyhedron article.

Mystara/the Known World gets... um... even as a Spelljammer fan I have to admit it gets better treatment than this. Every great once in a while Dragon throws it a bone, and that's pretty much it. Has a single creature originating in this setting made a Monster Manual from WotC?

Birthright doesn't even get as much as Mystara.

Dark Sun gets a (widely criticized, although I liked it) reboot in Dragon and Dungeon and a very occasional bone thrown it it in Monster Manuals. Despite being one of the main 2e Epic settings (the main Epic book for 2e was in the Dark Sun line!) it got no mention in the ELH, skipped in favor of more planar stuff. To be fair, it does have a very slick fan site, though.

Planescape? It gets Deities and Demigods, Manual of the Planes, Planar Handbook, Fiendish Codex I, Fiendish Codex II, a strong presence in the Fiend Folio and Epic Level Handbook (heck, a strong presence in MM1!), mentions in the DMG, third-party reimaginings from its original creators, and constant support in Dragon and Dungeon...

:\

Aside from the Realms, the only 2e setting that gets even remotely the kind of support Planescape does is Dragonlance, and that only because its creators keep it going via second party products.

Personally, I can think of at least 20-30 setting- or style-specific books I'd rather see than a Fiendish Codex III.

Is that still in print? I'm having trouble locating it.

Here you go, Flexor.

Aranea
Athach
Elemental drake
Choker
Frost salamander
Kopru
Neh-thalggu
Nightshade (Nightcrawler, nightwalker, nightwing)
Redcap
Umbral blot (blackball)
Wood imp

Mystara gets *way* more support than Spelljammer. The current adventure path in Dungeon is filled with Mystaran creatures and references, for all it's been relocated to Oerth.

Here you go, Flexor.

Thanks, but those are used full price copies, or a new copy for 60+ dollars. I was hoping Amazon would have a copy new at their typical discounts, but now only sellers that work through Amazon have it, and it's used or very expensive. I tried to add it into a shopping cart at Green Ronin's site and it doesn't go in for some reason.

Show the love. NE needs better representation.

I boycott monsters who were invented just to fill out a matrix.

then you must really hate the guardinals and eladrins.

ANDY COLLINS has asked the community what they think when they hear yugoloths. I believe he's in R&D now, so this is a good chance to say your views and maybe something will spring up in the future for an FCIII on yugoloths.
