Review # 1 was written on 2011-12-03 00:00:00 Murphy Murphy It's very reassuring to read an old AD&D supplement and see how well this game stood the test of time. Even flipping through «Monstrous Compendium: Volume One» one can realize how far back the roots of many iconic monsters from Dungeons & Dragons can go. Granted, many of the entries from this book are simply too bizarre to roam about in a dungeon form nowadays, but most os the information presented here can — and will — generate great adversaries or NPCs for games of any edition, even fourth. The only downside of the book, as I see it, is the fact that the pages aren't numbered and it doesn't have an index, something that could've helped this supplement a lot. If you're a fan of old-times D&D or miss the look and feel of TSR, you should treat yourself with a copy of this book if you find yourself in the position of buying one.

New monsters are always good....in a game I mean.
