Right now, I'd buy an MM2 sight-unseen, and I'd probably buy an MM3. But once you get to 1,000 monsters in print, it does become a much harder sell. That said...Bear in mind that one man's trash is another's treasure - the monsters that I want probably don't match the monsters you want completely.So, if I could dream, I think I would envisage a great big online database containing all of the 10,000 or so monsters published for every edition of the game. Said database would, of course, have to accumulate over time, but it could gradually collect all of the lore (even the contradictory bits), plus stats for every monster for every edition of the game. That way, we could both find exactly the monster we need, even if they other guy thinks it's ridiculous. <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=":)" />(And, yeah, in truth I consider paper to be a poor medium for presenting an option-heavy game like D&D. WotC seem to have problems with allocating the revenue from the 4e Compendium to the right teams, but it really was the highlight of that edition. IMO, of course.)</blockquote>
