The Monstrous Manual was giving a small amount of essential ones, but the OP Appendix was the main source. It was not for Planescape, either, that was later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370162161693557709.post-80037057790016474702009-07-06T08:33:40.265-05:002009-07-06T08:33:40.265-05:00I've never seen one of the loose-leaf compendi...I've never seen one of the loose-leaf compendiums - must have come out while I was dodging 2e. The only loose-leaf monsters I have are a few from some of the later Mayfair D&D releases, and some from Dark Sun.Dyson Logoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352404068239792475noreply@blogger.com
