I just think the MM should have:A clear description of the monsterA little bit about tacticsA little bit about the culture. What is the difference between the various evil humanoid races?As for "most DMs want their own fluff". I call bull. I want fluff I can use, or not use. But, I want fluff to inspire my ideas. I have two kids, golf, ski, volunteer for two groups, work full time.....I don't have time to do all my own work. I do have time to take decent to good modules and make them fit into my concepts (but my concepts are based on 40+ years of reading and watching movies and playing D&D).Fluff is needed for beginners. It is needed to provide inspiration. And, sometimes, it is needed to be used as is.</blockquote>
