[QUOTE="Vraille Darkfang, post: 1636413, member: 16989"] OK. So I just made the worst mistake of my Gaming Life. I just bought Mongoose's Ultimate Monsters Vol 1 (check out the review in the reviews section, the gut's WAAAAYYYYY too nice in giving it so high a score as a 2/5.) The book's the greatest example of complete, total, absolute, uncomprimising, utter, shear, INCOMPETINCE I've seen in a d20 book. I won't bore you here, just read John Cooper's review at: (by the way I can already add 30+ errors to all those he's listed). [url]http://www.enworld.org/reviews/index.php?sub=yes&where=active&reviewer=John+Cooper&product=UMV1[/url] Every (I mean every, as in 100%) of the monsters are inaccurate in some way. From minor editing errors to MAJOR d20 rule screw-ups. Enough ranting. Suffice to say this book is a waste of paper & I will no longer be buying any Mongoose stuff. Period. OK, OK, things can change, if I hear a bunch of glowing reviews, I'll go down to my FLGS with my a notebook, read through it, make notes, then MAYBE consider buying it. But, I'm out 35 bucks. I want to recoup some of that waste of money. Does anyone know about an errata file? Any other fools like myself have this & want to get together & begin the process of making this book begin to resemble the d20 book it claims (dubiously) to be? Thanks, Vraille Darkfang PS. I know some Mongoose people are about here. Got any excuse for this absolute waste of ink? I mean, does the editor (Richard Neale) and Proof-Reader (Ben Hesketh) normally get paid to do nothing? (Actually, I don't think they even SAW this book or their error-notes were ignored. Its impossible for anyone to be that incompetent & not have noticed any of the THOUSANDS (not exagerating) of errors in this book. [/QUOTE]
