There were two sets of those, as I recall. The business model is a little murky, though, since they were supplementing the Monster Manual but the original monsters weren't also on cards, which meant a DM needed the Monster Manual and the cards to use the new monsters (the monsters in questions tended to be weirdos who would supplement an adventure, but not replace the Monster Manual in most cases).Today, though, Hit Point Press and before them, Gale Force 9 showed that there's a market for putting all the stuff on cards so that players and DMs only need to bring the cards that cover the content for a given session. My wife, for instance, loves her wizard spell cards and won't play without them.</blockquote>
