This hardback book is designed to support the Legends and Lairs series from Fantasy Flight Games. It is fully compatible with any d20 campaign and due to the generic ideas within, would be equally useful in any fantasy system, regardless of the rules set used.

Oh no, another would be Monster Manual! Well, no, not really. While this book does contain a whole range of races, they are not monsters. Not in the classic D&D sense anyway. These races are designed to be monster, NPC and player character (with your GM's permission, of course!).

And the most interesting part of this book is the way in which these races have been considered. No longer do we have two or three monsters to a page, barely fleshed out and detailed. Now we have two or three (or more) pages per monster! With detailed descriptions, great illustrations, ehnanced d20 skills, new d20 classes used by the race in question and valuable campaign ideas, these 'monsters' can become a living, breathing, integral part of your campaign world. You even get examples of names they use, ideas about religion, details of their personality traits and ideas for using them as character races rather than simple NPCs.

While not all the races contained within will be to your liking or fit the theme of your games, you will find something useful on nearly every page. It will help you inject new life and ideas into your campaign with the minimum of work on your part.

This is one of the finest, slickest, best presented creature collectives we have come accross for the d20 system.
