But there's tons of fluff out there from previous editions if you want it - splatbooks, 6 page articles on the ecology of the flind in Dragon magazine. All crap, of course. D&D's never ever had good fluff. Look at games like RuneQuest or Empire of the Petal Throne if that's your bag.4e provides the best monster crunch so far. The framework is d20 but with a tighter CR system than 3e and more interesting, better presented special powers. This is what D&D does best - crunch.As other posters have said, fluff is very subjective, so it's better left to individual DMs. Look out those Dragon magazine articles if you really want to know what tiraphegs eat and when quaggoths celebrate their holy festivals.</blockquote>
