Hey all, it's coming.
I know that people around here liked MMIV slightly better than those on the Wizards and other boards. For those who didn't know, it wasn't widely appreciated due to it being crammed with only a handful of new monsters and a bunch of classed monsters.
MMV sounds like it will be similar, but we can hope for less or better classed monsters. This book seems to be featuring kuo-toa, vampires, and hobgoblins (and hopefully nothing else in the classed monsters area). I must say though that I'd rather have a few pre-made vampires than pre-made gnolls. Kuo-toa can be interesting too, but unless they are really really cool, I have no use for them. Hobgoblins could be useful. I'll just have to wait and see.
Of course, there will still be new monsters, and hopefully some good ones. Even MMIV had some really cool creatures in it.
And since all the WotC books I've bought in 2007 have been really awesome (Dungeonscape, Magic Item Compendium, and Drow of the Underdark), I have high hopes for this MM.
Anyone else have any opinions, hopes, or comments on this upcoming book?
