Today will cover the "others" in my Monstrous Compendium collections, but not ones I used regularly. Again the time these came out money was tight for a college kid needing to buy school supplies, food, and pay rent so choices were made. Ravenloft won, Dark Sun and Spelljammer lost.
Thankfully these days I can buy PDFs much cheaper and with little to no concern for storage space. Plus I have recently begun to explore Spelljammer and I have found it to be rather fun.
For these reviews, I am considering the PDFs only.
Dark Sun Monstrous Compendium Appendix II: Terrors beyond Tyr
PDF 128 pages, Color cover art, color interior art, $9.99. 105 monsters.
This one was published as a softover volume. It follows closer to the Dark Sun trade dress as opposed to the Monstrous Compendium one. This does mean that monster pages are full color.
Interestingly enough for me, this one has monsters I am more familiar with. Also, given the nature of the campaign world, many of these creatures can be used as player characters. So details are given for that.
