This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Yeah, looks like they have divided them by age.

Necrozius

Only 2 pages for dinosaurs :(

Otherwise, I am pleased!

Check out Gurbintroll Games for my free RPGs (including Dark Dungeons and FASERIP)!

Wow. They absolutely nailed it. All of the classic AD&D monsters, and the best from each subsequent MM and edition.

SO GLAD they organized it like this instead of like the downloads.  I most certainly did not want to go to the A's for Adult dragon and Y's for Young dragon.
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

Things I still miss:

Barghest

Eladrin, Archon and Guardinal

Neogi

Howler

Elder Brain

Frogemoth

I'm also not sure all kinds of Modron are present.


Not that I'm complaining, that's a small list and apart from the celestials and barghest they aren't monsters I'd have expected to see in a MM1.

The list is a big improvement on 3rd and 4th.

I don't mind that absense of named fiends. They belong in different books.

Still, I can't wait for the elder brain. Legendary actions and lairs should make that one a blast. Maybe even mind blowing.


I'll get my coat.


edit: I also wanted leucrotta. Wotc should start the second MM asap.

Can you spot the only D&D monster created by the Argentinian master of magical realism? Hint: it's the one with the incongruously human shadow.

Color me surprised and pleased.
Festering fumaroles vent vile vapors!

No cave fisher.  I am disappointed.  Oh well, easy enough to stat up on my own.

29 pages of demons and devils! So stoked. As noted above, they exercised excellent taste.

Edit: Yikes, no Lurker Above ?!?!?!!

On the other hand, 4 pages of orcs sounds promising. As someone who likes D&D in their middle earth, I appreciate having a range of orc types (it is useless to tell me D&D doesn't work in middle earth, as I've foolishly gone ahead and done it many times).

The one and only! I may like Jorge Luis Borges a little too much.
