• Pants' Monster Work
• Homebrews

 

[Boojum]

I've used several of these sources at one time or another, but the two big ones that get used all the time are the Monsternomicon and the Book of Fiends.

 

[TheAuldGrump]

Expeditious Retreat's Monster Geographica PDFs.

Sorted by CR.

Packaged by terrain type.

Very well bookmarked.

And as a PDF I can cut and paste easily. (There is also a print version, but...)

What's not to love?

The Auld Grump

*EDIT* Okay, I would love to see an illustraded version - the lack of pictures is the only downside.

 

[Crothian]

Expeditious Retreat's Monster Geographica PDFs.

I use those too. I didn't go through the PDFs I';ve used, that woulkd take longer.....

 

[cybertalus]

Aside from the MM, I sometimes use all the WotC books in the poll, ToH I & II, Monsters of Faerûn and other FR books, and the Creature Catalog hosted here at EN World.

 

[MoogleEmpMog]

MM2&3, Eberron CS, Monsternomicon, Conan the RPG, d20 Modern, d20 Modern Menace Manual, homebrew, home conversions of 2e monsters (generally replaced by MM2&3), Epic Level Handbook, Complete Arcane, Conan Scrolls of Skelos, FR Unapproachable East, Dragon magazine, Signs & Portents magazine.

I voted "Other". They basically come from starting with a non-standard miniature (in many cases, a plastic toy belonging to my children not originally made for D&D) and then figuring out what it is and can do based upon standard monsters that may be somewhat similar.

I use those too. I didn't go through the PDFs I';ve used, that woulkd take longer.....

Heh, not counting PDFs my list is Monster Manual, Monsternomicon. I use as many Monster Geographicas as the others combined!

I do have other monster books, but I tie critter books to their settings, so if I ever run Oriental Adventures Monsternomicon will go on the shelf and Creatures of Rokugan will come out to play. MG is a good general purpose critter book that fills my needs perfectly.

The Auld Grump, waitin' for volume 3...

OK, average monster used by source is probably between one and three... Certainly no more than 5! But still!

Wow *sniff* so much love, makes me a happy ENWorld-aholic

Surprisingly, I haven't used any of my conversions yet. I got done converting all those fiends right after I finished a fiend-focused story arc in my last campaign. Oh well, I got plenty of stuff for later campaigns...

I frequently use:
- Monster Manual II
- Fiend Folio
- Monster Manual III
- Draconomicon

In my Eberron Campaign, I'm planning on making heavy use of some Hooded Pupils (Libris Mortis), Half-Vampires (Libris Mortis), Bonedrinkers (MMIII), and Boneclaws (MMIII) in the upcoming games.
Later on, I'll be doing some cold-focused quests (Frostburn, MMII, MMIII will all be used!).
