Dragon: Monster Ecologies
Paizo Publishing, LLC

Our Price:		$19.99

This special issue of Dragon magazine contains 128 advertising-free pages of the best ecology articles from the past three years. Drawing from the ongoing and popular "Monster Ecologies" series, this giant collection features new rules, art, details, and encounters for some of the most fearsome and fantastic monsters in the history of Dungeons & Dragons.

Dragon: Monster Ecologies contains ecologies of the choker, chuul, dracolich, draconian, ettercap, inevitable, kenku, kobold, kraken, lizardfolk, mooncalf, night hag, rakshasa, rust monster, shadar-kai, spawn of Kyuss, spell weaver, and will-o'-wisp. But that's not all.

As if a dozen and a half ecologies weren't enough, we also asked Gary Gygax, China Miéville, and Rob Kuntz to recollect their favorite D&D monsters; we take retrospective looks at the beholder, githyanki, mindflayer, and displacer beast, and then we wrap it all up with a feature known as the "Monsters of Suck." And did we mention an index of every ecology ever printed?

NOTE: This special issue is printed on deluxe paper stock with a deluxe cover. It is not included in regular Dragon subscriptions.

Usually ships from our warehouse in 3 to 6 business days

A little disappointed...

I expected this item to be on the scale of the Dragon Compendium: specifically longer and hardcover. Most of these ecologies were taken from Dragon issues of the last two years and were duplicated for me. All in all, not worth the money...maybe for $9.95.

Ecology FTW!

This book is a very worthwhile thing to own. The quality of the binding, pages, and art are all excellent, and I hope this is what the Pathfinder books will be like.

I was excited to see that they had an index of every ecology article ever printed, and I believe they picked a good batch of ecologies for this book.

However, I hope to see further volumes at some point with some of the other great ecology articles out there.

This is easily one of the better ideas floated by the company. The ecologies section has been a mainstay of many DM's for a long time - with maybe the Bazaar of the Bizarre having a longer run. Many folks running games appreciate that someone else has already put in the work to flesh out these iconic mosters as this frees them up to put that work into action. It also encourages readers to submit more material, in the hopes that their work might not only be published in the world famous pages of Dragon, but that it might also be up to snuff enough to be published in a book like this.

I ordered this and am waiting with great anticipation. Just one question tho. When is it going to ship? Paizo is loyal. Paizo is considerate. Paizo rocks!

So, is it actually a magazine or more a soft-cover book? Also, has a more specific release date been set? - Chris Shadowens

The retail release date is May 23rd; paizo.com preorders will ship out shortly before that. It's a softcover book, as it has no ads, and is printed on a higher-quality paper stock with heavier cover stock than the magazines.

Any hope of seeing an index so I know what critters are in it?
