I would like to recomend a new monthly publication.
Time Life Books has a set of fold out animal books that are sold in groups of about 10 animals a month. It is really neat. I own 7 volumes of them.
I would definatley subscribe to a simmular monster publication...a loose leaf monsters printed on fold-out 11x14 card stock with ecology and images of the monster at different stages in its life...all the details as they are published elsewhere. All color art. 10 monsters a month. I can put them in my own 3-ring binder, or buy fancy binders printed to look like the Monster Manual.
-the only real problem I found with the old loose-leaf monster stuff was that it did not have enough information and it had two monsters on a page, which was not helpful when making your own MM.
mahee(been playing, and subscribing since 1976)
That would rock. Monster-o-the-month club!!!
Much cooler than jam-of-the-month, but harder to explain to your non-gamer friends ;)

I wish others would comment on this idea.
It's a great idea, but I don't know how it would be economically feasible.

I would love it! Definitely would sign up....
Imagine a 3-ring binder embossed with textured Dragon scales? The things they do now (as opposed to when I was in school) with binders and notebooks are incredible.
Ooo! Ooo! Depending on how well they could do it so it didn't look cheesy--they could even include a locking clasp on the binder as well.

If they did only 10 monsters a month, then it would be pretty feasible. They could use 8.5x 14 paper if they wanted to save a few bucks. Fold the paper just off center for the rings to go through one sheet. I was making my own like this while I was playing 2nd edition.

This sounds like an awesome idea! "Monster of the Month" indeed! I completely agree that there should be the initial investment of the binder (which could include, say, 10 OGL monsters) and then you get a monthly monster subscription with each month providing another 5-10 monsters in the form of pages to be inserted into the binder. It would be awesome!
Count me in as well.
I'd probably buy it.
