I figured it'd be good to spin off that conversation, because it's a topic I've got some Opinions on. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> My own take is that so far the best D&D monster book is the 2e Monstrous Manual. Fellow Poster With Opinions, [MENTION=87792]Neonchameleon[/MENTION] , thinks that the 4e monster books rock so much harder. What do you think? Do they both suck in comparison to the 1e Fiend Folio? Are you olde skoole and think that gnolls being gnome/troll hybrids in OD&D is and forever will be the best idea? I bet we'll get some interesting discussion out of it!FWIW, your favorite can still have flaws. I think the 2e MM rocks the hardest, but I do think it <a href="http://daedaluswing.wikidot.com/the-third-core-book" target="_blank">can be improved on</a>. Just because it's the best ever doesn't mean there isn't even more awesomeness coming up in the future! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
