I certainly can't wait to see the two Knights, the Merc and of course the White fur.Krug said:
Yeah, but how much does the public still love monster books? I just finished working on one with KenzerCo and when I tell people, the typical response is "Why do I need another monster book."
Obviously my response is "I wrote this one, so it's going to be better!" but MM, MM2, CC, CC2, Monsternomicon, Tome of Horrors and now Dangerous Denizens, if hadn't helped write it, I'd be suspicious myself.

Never have enough monsters... Never know when you'll see that one critter that will launch an entire campaign just on concept alone...Outlaw said:

Don't forget Denizens of Darkness, Fiend Folio, Minions, Creatures of Rokugan, The green ronin ones, Necromantic Lore, Book of Templates, etc.
And upcoming there is Penumbra Bestiary, Creature Collection III, Gaming Frontiers Monsters, etc.
I like the fact that there can be lots of critters that I don't know as a player (who has gamed since the 80s) or that my players don't know (who have likewise gamed since the 80s).
One of the co-DMs in the campaign I'm playing in was saying a while ago how frustrated he was that there was little surprise in monsters since the PCs were so experienced. I lent him Minions and he now has a plethora of critters that the experienced PC shifter has never even heard of.
Similarly, I haven't even looked in MM2 or Fiend Folio, so when the DM pulls these out it is a neat completely new experience for me (except for the converted ones).
*is kidding*My comments:
Archer of the Steppes: A berserk archer seems like a kinda silly idea.
Chain Legionnaire: The idea of a whole PrC, let alone a whole "Legion", dedicated to the Spiked Chain is a <i>really</i> silly idea.
Knight of the Oak: "Living oaken armor" intrigues me. Damned if I know what a Jordeh is, though.
Lodge-warrior: Well, it's colorful. But kung-fu woodelves?
Ragewitch: A berserk sorceress seems like a kinda silly idea. And the name blows.
I don't really like the large number of PrCs devoted to single weapons, especially such odd ones. Or the spell-like abilities that a lot of them seem to get. Or the old "when you get to be a really good X, you can get magical abilities related to your profession." Like, being a really good falconer lets you see through the bird's eyes. Yeah, sure.
Still, I'll definitely give it a flip-through. The Archer of Steppes might be a pretty cool fit for my gnomish wardog knight.
EDIT: When I wrote this, I thought that the PrCs in the book were general, rather than intended for a specific campaign world. A lot of the things I mentioned make a lot more sense now. Sorry if I offended.
