Non-WotC "standard" monsters resource?

[Gentlegamer]

Do you know of any 3rd party monster resources that have most of the "standard" D&D monsters (goblins, orcs, dragons, demons, etc)? I'm wondering if there is a monster book out there similar to Mongoose's Player and GM pocket guides.

Like the SRD? (Not quite following ...)

Tome of Horrors is a great 3d party monster book, but it doesn't repeat the monsters in the SRD.

I'm looking for a resource for most of the standard monsters that is laid out better and doesn't have the "dungeon-punk" illustrations of the official Monster Manual.

There are none that I know of. Allt he monster books I've seen are original monsters or reprints of monsters from earlier editions that were not covered in the MM. THe MM covers those monsters.

Yes. I've seen products that focus on specific monsters. However, I think most companies don't want to tread exactly over the ground for the Monster Manual (especially since it would have significant obmissions). Of course, I supposed the SRD compilations cover it.

green ronin released a spin for devils: Legions of Hell iirc. and the The Book of Fiends... and other spins on specific types.

Mongoose also did stuff on specific races

...the Slayers guides.

or Goodman Games.. Complete guide to Beholders ... and others.

bastion press.. Faeries

and many more.

but Mark's pdf is good for the basics.

but do you want that illustration free or ?

I know Mongoose is coming out with a gen Con release that's supposed to be an ultimate compilation type.

I second Mark's self-pimp. Do yourself a favor and buy the full bundle. I used it more than the core 3 books when I was DMing 3.5.

That sounds like just what I'm looking for.
