Which supplementary monster compendium do you like most?

[johnsemlak]

I've been waiting for the Tome of Horrors release to post this poll.

Which Monster Manual-type book do you like most <b> besides</b> Monster Manual I?

I've allowed multiple choice, but please be selective.
EDIT: I mistakenly didn't allow multiple choice, so you have to be selective. Sorry.

If I've missed one you like, please post it. I looked hard for every possible source, but with so many d20 companies out there...

Apparently you haven't. The poll only let me choose one.

Rats!

I forgot to click that. I meant to do that. I can't edit that, so we'll have to leave it as a single-choice poll.

Sorry.

I like the Bestiary of Loreum (sp?) from Sov Stone

Only these marked in green have darkened the doorstep of my FLGS:

Monster Manual II
Monsters of Faerun
Creature Collection I
Creature Collection II
Tome of Horrors
Monsternomicon
Creatures of Rokugan
Liber Bestarius: The Book of Beasts
Minions: Fearsome Foes
Jade Dragons & Hungry Ghosts
Legions of Hell
Armies of the Abyss
Denizens of Darkness (Ravenloft) arrived two days ago, haven't had an opportunity to look at it
Nightmares & Dreams
Nightmares & Dreams II

So from the reduced listing, I would have to vote MoF: Monsters of Faerûn, because I have used creatures in it, but I do like CCI & II.

I really wanted to see Monsternomicon and Tome of Horrors, I guess i'll see them around Xmas...

I've got a thing for Steampunk, so Monsternomicon is my #1 choice.

 

[CSB046]

When my campaign gets rolling, Liber Bestarius is going to see a LOT of use. I really like some of the new races, so it would have to be my first choice.

Monsternomicon is pretty cool, though.

I don't see myself using Tome of Horrors as much as some other DMs, but of course, I only just bought the book three days ago! Maybe time will show me more uses for it.

[hammymchamham]

for me its a toss between Creatures of Rokugan and Monsters of Faerun, and I saw MoF first.

 

[BronzeDragon]

I'll have to say Creatures of Rokugan.

Legions of Hell is probably the best, but its scope is too limited to be my favorite book.

Monster manual 2 suffered from inconsistency, Creature Collection I suffered from being the first thing out there.

Creature Collection II was excellent, and came close to winning it for me, specially since I don't have Tome of Horrors or some of the other books listed.

But Creatures of Rokugan is so full of interesting monsters and ideas that it has to take the prize.

And I don't even like oriental settings!
