Finnaly It Arrived
The second of three core rulebooks for the 4th Edition Dungeons &
Dragons® Roleplaying Game.
The Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game has defined the medieval
fantasy genre and the tabletop RPG industry for more than 30 years. In the
D&D game, players create characters that band together to explore
dungeons, slay monsters, and find treasure. The 4th Edition D&D rules
offer the best possible play experience by presenting exciting character
options, an elegant and robust rules system, and handy storytelling tools
for the Dungeon Master.

The Monster Manual presents more than 300 official Dungeons & Dragons
Roleplaying Game monsters for all levels of play, from aboleth to zombie.
Each monster is illustrated and comes with complete game statistics and
tips for the Dungeon Master on how best to use the monster in D&D
encounters.
Personal Review: Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual:
Roleplaying Game Core Rules, 4th Edition by Wizards RPG
Team
You know what is great about the 4E rules for D&D? They made it easy,
and fun, for NEW PLAYERS to get into the game. They simplified and
streamlined a lot of the nit-picky stuff (which, granted, some people love),
and made it easier to just jump into the game.
What this means is that I can start an impromptu game with my little
sisters, and actually keep and HOLD their attention all the way through an
entire gaming session of about 2 hours. That is AMAZING! They have
always liked the game, and the fun of the dice rolls, etc. What they DIDN'T
like, was dying (or being knocked unconscious), limited spell use,
confusing power rules, and almost no low level party members being able
to to HEAL!
With 4E, EVERYONE can heal with the new "healing surge" abilities. I
don't know about anyone else, but my parties generally ALWAYS suffered
from healing problems in their lower levels. Either because nobody was
playing a cleric, or there weren't enough healing potions to go around.
Mages/wizards can now cast spells whenever they please (only being able
to cast magic missile once per day/rest cycle is a real bummer to a little girl
who wants to play a magic casting bad-arse as her character!), and all of
the powers quickly and easily divided up into "at will," "once per
encounter," and, "daily" powers. Given the almost unlimited choices
available in 3E and 3.5E, they would get confused, overwhelmed, and stop
wanting to play. Most little girls do not want to sit down and do homework
to "play."
I am a 3E and 3.5E rule set owning DM, and I am here to say that 4E is not
for everyone! But, if you are like me, and are trying to get new people into
D&D, give 4E a try. I am fairly certain you will enjoy running a game for
those people using 4E rules. I am switching over entirely to 4E for all new
games I will be running hereafter. I will be hanging on to my 3E and 3.5E
books, but those will be used for campaigns for D&D veterans. ;-)
Enjoy!
