I think what angers me the most about the abandonment of 3.5 by its producers is the really horrible state the monster manuals have been left in both error and format-wise. I spend an inordinate amount of time checking stats and applying errata. I'm a conscientious GM and don't want to cheat my players by misrepresenting the right stats. Does anyone else find themsleves in the same boat and what are you doing about it?

Yeah it is a bit sucky...Here's hoping Paizo will pick up the Monster Manuals, The asorted fiend folios, Dieties and Demigods, Legend and Lore, and Creature Catalogs going all the way back to the beginning of the game and Put them all (along with the HUMAN monster) in a single 1500 page volume called CRYPTOZOOLOGY.

My aching back suggests that we instead have an ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CRYPTOZOOLOGY with a few--very few--volumes.

How about three volumes with the following names: #1-Native Monstrosities, #2-Outsiders of Influence, #3-Beasts of Myth and Legend
This way, you cover just about everything you can in three simple strokes. The first volume would encompass every creature you could semi-commonly encounter, the second could handle fiends, angels, and planar beings. The last would deal with the legendary and mythical beasts that are exceedingly rare.
