MM4 Table of Contents up

[Tuzenbach]

Don't overlook this book, and don't judge it by a perceived lack of content. I *love* the MM IV, it's really inspiring me in a way that nothing has in a long while. The expanded content for each monster is very interesting and useful, and more than makes up for the "low" total number of monsters presented. In addition, the content is varied and uses a lot of sources that you haven't traditionally seen in a Monster Manual. Overall I think this is the best Monster Manual yet.

Please don't be insulted by this. I'm going to ask you a question and I'd like you to answer honestly. Are you a WotC plant? E.i., are WotC employing you to voice upon these boards your praises of this book?

LOL!!! That may just be the funniest thing I've read in a while!

Gosh, why would he be insulted by that?

Heaven forfend people just disagree with you. God forbid that WotC produce tools for DMs who don't have much free time, haven't kept notes between campaigns, have never before needed "creature X with class levels," or--gasp!--are new to DMing!

Damn WotC for not producing books for you and Razz specifically, and ignoring every other possible segment of their market. Good thing you've shown them the error of their ways through reasoned discourse, friendly interaction, and logically constructed arguments.

Hey Mouse, you left out biting sarcasm!

You know what? I hadn't thought of that. That's actually a good argument.

Hey, is the idea so bizzare that there are actually WotC/Hasbro spies who's job entails spewing marketing propaganda all over Internet message boards?! Why is that funny?

Don't worry. Wil Upchurch (d20Dwarf) is not a propaganda tool.

However, WotC staffers *do* read these boards, and they are usually very gracious, and they do not need to hide their identity.

And yeah, the FF does have a few stinkers...terror bird comes to mind.

They were real creatures, and quite successful predators for several million years after the extinction of the dinosaurs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terror_bird

Of course, I don't have Fiend Folio, so you might know that already and just mean the intepretation was lousy. If so, just ignore me.

I have this hat made of tin foil that would look perfect on you.

O Rly?

The FF one looks like a vulture/ostrich hybrid... not terribly inspiring even if it was a real critter.
