Monster Manual III

That being said, if MM3 looks significantly better than MM2 or FF (it would have to look a lot better), then maybe I will give into the D&D bug once more.

Other than the OGL issue, what would make it better? I thought there was some cool stuff in MM2 and FF was awesome awesome awesome.

So what are you looking for?

What about an official version of the Giant space hamster?

btw I know its in the Tome of Horrors.

I find that after the monster manual I tend to use the Creature Catalog I, and II and Tome of Horrors more then any other Monster books. now if you want one that REALLY sucks try the monsternomicon!!!!

The OGL issue doesn't bother me; it's an extra, a bonus, and one that I really like in a book, but it's not a requirement for me. Remember in 2e and further back? There was no OGL then, and I bought the old monster books too. IYKWIMAITYD.

Agreed.

OGL is nice and all and I'm happy that UA was pretty much all OGL, but the issue here is quality monsters. If the book has nice cool monsters, I'll buy it and I'll support it. If not, I'll buy it, then I'll bash it

Is it just me, or are some of the released monster names.... stupid? Ambush Drake? What the hell?

It could be something along the lines of what I've been pondering (I doubt it, but here's hoping), a draconic creature that uses stealth and web attacks to subdue its prey, and can inject a venom that produces a Faerie Fire effect so that the prey can be easily tracked through the wilderness in the middle of the night.

But that's probably too good a thought to be true.

Madness.

Ambush Drake, as far as I am concerned, is on the same level as Mind Flayer or Beholder.

But, Avalancher, Petal or Thorn...
