The Monster Manual 2 Cover is up on Amazon

I'm so sick of kobolds, goblins, gnolls, and other low level varmits that I'll pick this one up almost sight unseen.

You've just assured the book will include 200 pages of kobold, goblin, and gnoll variatns.

I doubt it.

I suspect part of it will be collecting the "new" monsters like the duegar and norker from the various adventurers.

That looks pretty sweet. Can't wait to get some more monster goodness...

Yes, I want ALL monster manuals!
DMGs.. ehhh not so much
PHBs are good too

Agreed. Given what's in the first DMG, I don't see how further ones will be of much value.

Anyone know what they plan on including in future DMGs to get the page count up?

Great cover- though I wish Demogorgon were a bit more...errr..nasty- darker in color,matted fur, slimey, etc.

My bet is Yeenoghu for the cover of MM3

I'll pick this up if it has alot of the missing classics, a good spread (level wise), and not too much silliness.

I love monster books, so that's probably a must. But I'm not too keen on the cover - WotC art direction really loves this overly colourful, O'Connor-inspired style.

I was much more impressed with nJoo's Demogorgon for Paizo (make sure to click on the picture). Or WAR's take on it. And I'm all for getting Komarck's work on the covers.

Cheers, LT.

I dont really mind the art of 4e, I actually tend to like most of it. However, WAR just is amazing. I just love his style! I know it doesnt really fit the style WoTC has choosen for 4e, but commission that man for some 4e art please!

On subject, I will probably pick up the new MM, as has been stated, more monsters is good. Im not very good at reskinning, so I like to have a large pool to draw from.

My bet is Yeenoghu for the cover of MM3

I bet the 3 headed demon dog Cerabas (However you spell it)

Kudos to Sigma7 on RPGnet. And it's looking good.

Looks more RIFTS or Gamma World than D&D. But still cool. ;-)

IMHO, however, this is still one of the all-time coolest covers for any fantasy RPG. It took my breath away when I first saw it as a kid:
