Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fanaelialae" data-source="post: 8315728" data-attributes="member: 53980">My table regularly uses additional MMs. In 5e we use Volo's, The Tome of Beasts, Creature Codex, and both Monster Manual Expanded 1 & 2. Creatures from the various hardcover adventures sometimes also see play.This was also true back when we played 3.x. We used all the MMs, as well as some 3rd party books, like the ones for Scarred Lands (which were notably good, as I recall).I don't recollect any particularly notable encounters or enemies, though I'm certain there were. What I recall was from 3.x, when the DM allowed us to use the book Savage Species to make playable monsters. There was a Maug (who died an ignoble death falling into lava in the first session). A Desmodu (who made it fairly far into the campaign). And a Feyre Eldarin - probably didn't spell that right, they're the fire angels whose name is pronounced fear. That last character made it almost to the end of the campaign (taken out by standing too close to an ally's magic item that caused a retributive strike upon death), and has even made appearances in other campaigns.While we've undoubtedly enjoyed many great encounters from the varied MMs we've used, the creatures that have left the greatest impression were the ones we played.Edit: Almost forgot the cowardly Annis Hag raised by kobolds. She was the only member of the original party to make it all the way to the end of the campaign. Probably the strongest character in that campaign.</blockquote>
