[QUOTE="jgbrowning, post: 1638442, member: 5724"] I'll hope you'll be willing to give our forthcoming [i]Monster Geographica[/i] series a chance, even with your hesitations about comprehensive books.

Boz is doing our conversions and co-editing it with us, so we're hoping to catch the surprising numbers of mistakes we've found in published monsters.
