[QUOTE="Nebulous, post: 2635700, member: 31465"] I freakin love monster books, own probably ten of them, and a couple template books. It's the art that really gets to me now, as the stats all blur together into one big ball that the PC's will rarely be privy to see anyway. If the art doesn't bring a monster alive, then the stats won't do it for me either, as you can open a book, drop a finger, pick a monster, and then slap a picture to it from somewhere else if you want. Cool flavor text is what is needed, stuff that is fun to read above and beyond a statblock. Love the monsters though. If a book came out every year with thought-provoking art, scary stuff, surreal stuff, and then twists on the genre, i'd snap it up. And yes, as someone pointed out Denizens of Avadnu was rocking. So is Monsternomicon. Two examples of great art and great flavort text over and above the norm. [/QUOTE]
