What a cutter needs is a book like this one - something that tells the real dark of what's waiting out there, just on the other side of that portal. This MONSTROUS COMPENDIUM appendix contains nearly 100 new monsters from the Outlands and various Outer Planes, and a few updated creatures that haven't seen print for quite some time. A wierd collection of Spelljammer beasties. Besides the classic Star Frontiers races you also get barnacles, clockwork spiders, giant space hamsters, giff, and more. Planescape Monstrous Compendium Appendix I, II, & III I have a lot of monster books. From Basic to Fifth Edition and almost everything in between. Plus throw in the crap load of books from Pathfinder and D20 I probably have two whole shelves devoted to monsters. My favorite monster books are the Planescape Monstrous Compendiums.

They worked the poor boy to the bone, and Planescape never really recovered after the loss of Diterlizzi. Perhaps the setting was already on its way down, what with the system changeover, economic slump, and sudden superabundance of bad campaign settings (Jakarta, anyone?). It is unfortunate that the most unusual, charming, and well-written D&D setting never became more popular, but the same could be said of Torment, the cult classic videogame based on the setting.
I never found the Inner pla

MC1–5 Monstrous Compendiums[edit]

TSR 2102 – MC1 – Monstrous Compendium Volume One (1989) – ISBN0-88038-738-6
This was the initial volume in the Monstrous Compendium series, for the second edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons game, published in 1989. Most of the monsters for Volume One were taken from previous first edition AD&D books; the monster entries were greatly expanded and in most cases each monster now filled an entire page and had an all-new illustration. The Monstrous Compendium series consisted of a pack of 5-hole punched loose-leaf pages rather than an actual book, designed to be arranged to the player's preference. Volume One of the Monstrous Compendium was packaged in a box, which contained the pack of monster sheets as well as a binder intended to store the sheets for Volumes One, Two, and Three. The pack consisted of 144 pages, unnumbered, and included a 'How To Use This Book' page, with an alphabetical index to Volume One on the back, four pages of monster summoning and random encounter charts, and a blank monster sheet to be photocopied, with the remainder consisting of the monster descriptions. Also included were eight full-page illustrations on heavier card stock.
  • Note: All monsters from MC1 appeared in the Monstrous Manual (1993), though some had slightly altered headings.

TSR 2140 – Monstrous Manual (1993)[edit]

TSR 2140 – Monstrous Manual (1993) – ISBN1-56076-619-0
The Monstrous Manual was printed after the completion of the loose-leaf Monstrous Compendium series, in 1993. This book was 'created in response to the many requests to gather monsters into a single, durable volume which would be convenient to carry.' The Monstrous Manual compiled all of the monsters from Monstrous Compendium Volumes One and Two, as well as many creatures from subsequent volumes, and revised and updated the entries; however, some entries were condensed from previous Monstrous Compendium entries. The book is 384 pages.

TSR 2501 – Monstrous Compendium – Mystara Appendix (1994)[edit]

TSR 2501 – Monstrous Compendium – Mystara Appendix (1994) – ISBN1-56076-875-4
This appendix to the Monstrous Compendium series was designed for use with the Mystaracampaign setting for the second edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons game. The 128-page soft-bound book contains a two-pages content list, a 4-pages 'How To Use This Book' section and 5 pages of random encounter charts, with the remainder consisting of the descriptions of the fictional monsters.

The Mystara campaign setting began as the 'Known World' in the D&D Basic and Expert rules, and as a result many of the entries below originated in the D&D Basic, Expert, Companion or Masters rulebooks, and the modules associated with them.

TSR 2173 – Monstrous Compendium Annual Volume Four (1998) – ISBN0-7869-1212-X
This 96-page soft-bound book contains creatures appearing in various TSR publications (magazines, game accessories, etc.). Unlike the previous annuals, the included monsters are not primarily drawn from the previous year's publications, but span a wide variety of years, possibly because TSR's financial woes resulted in very few products being produced in 1997. Also in a departure from the first three annuals, Volume Four includes a reference to the original appearance of the creature on each page. The Annual also contains a 3-page 'How to Use This Book' section, which includes updated tables for the calculation of experience points awarded for defeating various creatures, and a 2-page index.
