then again, who needs the MM? if we feel like it, as DM we can resurrect or imagine up all manner of intarestin beasties for our players to tackle. however it deosnt really solve my dilemma, which isn't really based on the game mechanic. but more on MM7's lack of engaging and intriguing plot. choices, backstory flavor, and of course consequences is more what i need help on. though i do love a good rant about DnD v 4 as well as the next dwarf, there are better places for it than here.
definitely will see if i can dredge up a copy of that old MM for v2 though...crawling claws sounds right up my alley.
