[QUOTE="Enrico Poli1, post: 7390512, member: 6947027"] "If you had to choose only one of your dear Bestiaries to bring in a lost island, what would you chose and why?" Present your Top 10 for Bestiaries! Any variant D&D is admitted, so Pathfinder, 13th Age and Hackmaster are welcome. My choices: 10) Monster Manual 3, D&D 3.5. It presented a host of extraordinary new monsters with fantastic art. 9) Creature Collection for the Scarred Lands Setting, Sword & Sorcery, D&D 3.0. It came out before the Monstrer Manual 3.0 and it made a terrific entrance. I love the art and the way the monsters are functional to the setting. 8) Planescape Monstrous Compendium Appendix 1, AD&D 2e. For the incredible DiTerlizzi Art. Plus, these extraplanar monsters could be used in every setting of AD&D 2e. 7) Pathfinder Bestiary. It's a polished and more artistic version of the Monster Manual 3.5. 6) Dragonlance SAGA Bestiary. Simply gorgeous. Incredible art and first-person tales. 5) 13th Age Bestiary. Unbridled creativity in the reinterpretation of the original MM. Masterful use of 13th Age system-features such as Escalation Die and Icon Relationships. 4) Hacklopaedia of Beasts, Hackmaster 5e. Gorgeous art, first-person tales, a lot of incredible information such as size, footprints... 3) Monstrous Compendium Binder, AD&D 2e. This Binder in itself has a lot of charme. Plus, I can add my favorite expansions. Come, Dark Sun & Ravenloft Appendices! 2) Monster Manual AD&D 1e. Original Gygax. The one that started it all, the model that each iteration tried to surpass. 1) Monster Manual 5e The art is excellent, so is the fluff, and the way they presented the stats is both concise and efficient. I think it surpassed the Original one by a very narrow margin. I'll take this one for my island vacation! [/QUOTE]
