Monstrous Goodness

Via the Land of Nod comes this, the complete AD&D 2nd Edition Monstrous Manual(s), html-ized and (apparently) WotC-approved, for your perusal.

This is obviously a project very dear to my heart, as you can probably guess. Perhaps the best thing about this site is that it also includes illustrations and monsters from the setting-specific Monstrous Compendia, like the Planescape and Kara-Tur ones.

  1. I've noticed that a few monsters are missing, but it's still pretty great.

  2. Heh. I unknowingly used at site the other day while talking about cyclops sharks (aka Spelljammer's scavvers http://www.lomion.de/cmm/scavver.php ).

  3. There is no way that is WotC-approved. Look at the domain name. It's probably just a hassle for them to get a cease and desist notice through, if they have noticed it.

  4. Brendan, I'm just assuming, by using the word "approved", that WotC don't care about it.

  6. Zak, I think that link only has the 2nd edition AD&D Monstrous Manual, whereas the one in the post includes various monstrous compendia from different campaign settings.
