[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8507188, member: 2209"] I try to use a mix of both familiar D&D staples and more out there ones in my monster palette. I remember in the 80s working my way backwards through the Monster Manual II to slip in the less known ones where appropriate as I ran a long term campaign. Not every game but every once in a while and it worked fairly well. In 3e I got a ton of 3rd party sourcebooks so I had a lot to choose from. I remember when running Lord of the Iron Fortress and the planar city of Rigus is described as being populated by humans, aasimar, and elves that I replaced the population with mostly Lawful war oriented evil mortal and planetouched races: Hobgoblins, Duergar, Tieflings, Fire Giants, and these aggresively militaristic flying tiger people from [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/1431/Complete-Minions?affiliate_id=17596']Complete Minions[/URL]. It worked well to have a variety of both familiar and new that were all on theme. [/QUOTE]
