[QUOTE="Dark Psion, post: 3732818, member: 959"] ...at Wal Mart! I was not even considering this book till I had it in my hands. It is released under their Mirrorstone line and the words "Dungeon" and "Dragon" are conspiciously missing from the book. I hate to say it, but the art here is better than in many of the recently released D&D books, although there is a little recycled art (Yuan-Ti, Doppleganger, weapons and armor) but most of it is new and yes, the Rakshasa's thumbs are on the outside of the hands. It is written like a guide book for a beginer adventuerer, but with notations by a wizard named Zendric. Most monsters get a single page, a few iconic monsters (Griffon, Medusa, and Goblins) get two pages and a couple get more (Vampire, Werewolf and Beholder). Most of the expanded entries show a sample lair (A gypsy wagon for the Werewolf for example). Overall a very nice book for someone new to the game. It explains everything with "in-game" descriptions, how the PCs would see and describe it. Nothing too graphic for kids either, the Harpy is dressed and the Ghoul took a bath before his picture was taken. I sure hope those other "end-table" books don't show up at Wally World or I might have to buy them too. ;) [/QUOTE]
