We finally finished Bestiary of the Realms Vol. 2, and Eric has posted it up on his website here: http://www.ericlboyd.com/dnd/monsters.html

As this is our second volume, you’ll find several score new or converted monsters, as well as a few different interpretations of monsters that have already been converted.

A word of caution, just as many official 3E and 3.5E monsters did not slavishly follow earlier write-ups of those monsters, neither do the monsters herein. Instead, we did our best to consider all sources, hopefully make full and creative use of the 3.5E rules (including non-core WotC books), and in many cases add a little bit here and there to many of the monsters, even if it was in only adding or updating their Realms lore. A few have even been renamed.

Good gaming. We hope you enjoy it.

Tom and Eric

08-26-06, 11:08 AM Browsed both bestiaries really quick, so I can't give any critics or anything on the work that both of you have done. While there is lots of stuff, it really need more pictures of the creatures... and what is a bestiary without pictures? :(

08-28-06, 02:15 PM Unfortunately as this product is both a labor of love and free, it is totally dependent on the amount of free time all of the author's have, and in this case my artist friend had less time than last time to add art. Also, since a good number of the creatures are converted from 1E or 2E, their pictures exist in older products. Hopefully, the descriptions, however, will be enough to spark your imagination.

Good solid monster write ups creatively done, and available for free.

I loved the first one so much, I've pestered Mr Costa here about the 2nd one for a long time :)

I'm tickled pink that it is finally available, it was a long time comeing and worth the wait if you ask me.

So I thank both Tom and Eric for thier time and devotion to the project.
