Monster Manual 2...super rant!!!

To add to what Grazzt said: Old monsters also make converting from past edition material easier.
*dons conspiracy cap*
Too many monsters from past editions would mean you would have less incentive to buy new modules. They couldn't make it too compatible or all that old material would stay useful without much effort to convert.
*takes off conspiracy cap*
But then again, adventures don't sell anyway, so we're told. And WotC hasn't been putting up too many barriers to conversions of old material anyway.
I still don't like yrthaks though.

Which is very important, I agree. However, I would also like to point out that most of the d20 companies do likewise. I really doubt that Green Ronin, Atlas, and Fantasy Flight put anything less then their undivided love and devotion to gaming in general and d20 in particular into their books.

True but I guess for me, I have special place in my heart for Necromancer Games, not just because they are under the S&SS banner BUT because I feel they DO live up their motto. In any case, I never have to worry about where to fit Necromancer modules OR their monsters. It all works out for me. This isn't in any way to dengriate such luminary publishers LIKE Green Ronin or MEG, (who I'm glad have Hal Greenberg as their member. Still hold a big place in my heart with Bluffside.
) but Necromancer Games and the people there...have a place in my heart few others can top.Nightfall said:

Once again, fair enough. Though I am not making light of Necromancer Game's work in any way, shape or form as I believe they do live up to a level of quality within the confines of their stated goals, I am not particularly a fan of 1st edition feel. I much prefer a 3rd edition feel with a spice of more cultural and plotline-specific elements and feel that companies like Green Ronin and Mahalavoc Press cater to my needs a bit more in that area.
But that is one of the advantages of having the d20 system liscense. We can have companies who produce material to suit the needs of a variety of different people.
