[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 4209640, member: 54846"] To some degree, yeah. Especially [i]Lords of Madness[/i]. It was juicygood. But I also liked Libris. The thing is, 4e is giving you 3-4 variants of [i]each kind of monster[/i]. You don't just have "Skeleton" you have Burning Bones and Boneshard skeletons, skeletal warriors, skeletal temple guardians (Elite), Decrepit skeletons, and so on. So even one Undead type of monster (skeleton) is going to have a hefty variety. That's a lot to cram into just a MM. So yeah, I see room for expansion books. Besides, it clears the way for other monsters in the MM. Like oh, [b]Frost Giants[/b]. MMs are apparently themed somewhat, so I expect expansion books. Doesn't mean I'm going to buy them.
