If you like the mythos and run a 5e game that incorporates or is influenced by it, RUN out and buy a copy - it's the bible of adding the mythos to your game. Includes over 100 monsters, with all the classics, all with extensive lore and fantastic artwork, prepared to make snacks out of your party. Plus it includes ways of integrating world and mind shattering encounters with the elder gods and great old ones themselves for ultra high level parties - CR 21-30!Faerie Fire - Tired of slime, tentacles and insanity? Here's the other end of the spectrum... a bizarre bestiary of fey creatures that's pure whimsy from the cover of a Lisa Frank notebook. Okay, so a book with faeries who like to settle conflicts with dance-offs and anthropomorphic crocodiles with keytaurs -might- not be everyone's cup of tea, but I thought it a very interesting departure from the norm, and another beautifully well produced work that might have to find a way into my campaign ones of these days (the fact that I love both this and the Cthulhu Mythos probably means that my table is not one for the timid...)Here Be Dragons - Another completely different take... the creator of this book tried to faithfully recreate fantasy creatures as they were imagined by medieval writers and in folklore - and the results will eat your party's face. If you want to give a jaded group of gamers a whole new world of medieval fantasy to explore, this is one you'll want to have in your arsenal as well.</blockquote>
