Curious Critters,

This review is from: Twisted Lore (Legends & Lairs, d20 System) (Paperback)
A rather interesting compendium of creatures each of which has the capacity to boggle the mind. While not entirely complacent with 3.5 (none of FFG's products are so this is of little surprise)conversion is quite simple for anyone with half brain in their noggin. The aberrations and oozes in the book need no conversion but the shapechangers do due t the fact shapechanger is now a quality of other categories of monsers rather than a category unto itself. I can easily recategorize all the shapechangers in this volume as either magical beasts or monstrous humanoids (lycanthropes as a general rule become humanoids but this is the exception that proves the rule). Most of the monster described in this tome are ghastly beasts that will expand the mind of the DM using them as well as the players facing them. Generic enough to plop into any campaign with a little or perhaps no effort on the part of the enterprising GM, Twisted Lore is wicked fun for all gamers.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Essentially just more monsters,

This review is from: Twisted Lore (Legends & Lairs, d20 System) (Paperback)
Firstly, I bought this book sight unseen as I have a player who has practically an eidetic memory and he knows the ins and outs of a duck's bum when it comes to the Monster Manual (I to IV). So I was looking for anything different.
The book is well-presented and each monster has its own black-and-white drawing. Editing is excellent and I can't remember any typos and the layout is simple and to the point. But its the monsters we wan't to know about. The descriptions are good and they are generic enough to fit into any campaign, and there are some really interesting monsters. The skywhale, with its potential to carry its own ecological domain on its back could be a very interesting setting, and the yoeman jelly has some very curious possibilities. Overall I think that Fantasy Flight Games have done a good job and these critters could be very useful in any campaign.
