Did I read that correctly? The Ecology of the Spell Weaver? Oh, man - I canNOT WAIT! When I stumbled across this creature in the 'Monster Manual II,' I was drawn into its terrible mystique. As a DM, I've only had a chance to use it once, and it was GLORIOUS (99 points of magic missile damage on an unsuspecting player - oh, what a moment IN DEED) . . . I've long wanted to know more about the Spell Weaver, and it looks like I'll be getting my chance . . . !
IIRC, that thing was even crazier back in the 2E days. ;)
BTW, its original first appearance was in the pages of Dragon. :)

That's even better news to me - I've been playing for a long time, but when I first came to the game, those I learned from were hardcore 1st edition fans, and I skipped most of what happened during the 2E days. I've gone back, now, and absorbed quite a bit more of what came before 1st and 3rd edition, but knowing the Spell Weaver had a history in 2nd edition somehow makes me even more excited (I especially liked how the Lupin were expanded upon when they were mentioned in a 'Winning Races' column awhile back - a sidebar touched on their history a bit, and the entire article brought the race up to speed)!

MMII monster. Really awsome. Think four-armed spellcasting monster that can wipe the floor with powerful players. And it looks cool beyond belief. (It just looks so impassive, spOOky.)

Sounds cool. On the subject of MMII, do you think MMII and/or MMIII are worth buying? I've been considering them off and on for a while now.
Thnaks, all.

Absolutely. I own them both and use them frequently. Just make sure to get the 3.5 conversion doc for MMII from WotC's site.
I agree, MM2 and MM3 are both worth it (as is FF) if you are a DM who enjoys a wide monster selection to choose from.
And be sure to download all the errata docs for MMIII...that book is buggier than a 10-foot-square room filled with a locust swarm!
