From Luigi Castellani. It features a dead or zombie witch on a broom. Love it. Has a real "American Witch" meets "Living Dead Girl" vibe to it.
The cat and the ripped fishnets are a nice touch.

#RPGaDAY2022 Day 31 - When did you first take part in #RPGaDAY?
Ah, I had to look back for this one, but my very first was not until 2014.
One of the reasons for this is I am always super busy in August due to Gen Con (didn't go this year) and my Fall term start.
Well, that is another #RPGaDAY for the history books! How did you all do?

This one features a long-haired witch riding a broom. Had to grab it. I am not sure where I will use it yet, but I will certainly find a spot.

#RPGaDAY2022 Day 30 - What should #RPGaDAY do for its 10th anniversary next year?
Today's question looks to the future. What should #RPGaDAY do for its 10th anniversary next year?
Two things I can think of.
1. Poster's choice. You participate in a past #RPGaDAY that you did not do originally or did not complete. So for me 2017 and 2018.
2. Roll a d10 to and post for whatever that year was. This means Dave still needed to come up with things for Year 10 (2023)
I think my money is on #1.
100 Days of Halloween: Troll Witch
A cool bit of art from Daniel Comerci. It is labeled as a "Troll Witch" and that works for me.
I used this one for my Winter Witch book and it is rather perfect to be honest.

Monstrous Mondays: Monster Manual V (3.5)
PDF. 223 pages. Full-color covers and interior art.
For this review, I am considering the PDF from DriveThruRPG and my hardcover I had a number of years ago.
Published in 2007 this was one of the last hardcovers published for the D&D 3.5 game prior to the announcement of the D&D 4e.
I picked this one up cheap at the local RPG auction and I think I sold it back at next year's auction. Not a ringing endorsement I know, but in mine (and this book's) defense I was reducing my 3.x collection to make room for more OSR books and the upcoming 4e. I am glad I picked up the PDF though.
There are just over 110 monsters in this book (ranging from CR 1/2 to 22), the least amount for any of the "Monster Manuals" for 3.x. There are 11 templates, and many companion and summonable creatures. There are even new feats and spells. So at least this late in the game there is (or was) new material that could be shared.
The monster entries are again limited to whole pages. To make up the space there are "Lore" entries on some monsters. Others even have a Sample Encounter, Typical Treasure and/or how the monster appears in various campaign worlds. I admit these do not feel like padding and instead feel like a value-added feature.
Alignments are also prefaced with "Always" or "Usually" in some cases, giving more variety to alignments.
Among my favorite creatures here are" the Arcadian Avenger, the various new demons, the unique Dragons of the Great Game, Frostwind Virago, the God-Blooded creatures, Kuo-toa (finally!), Mindflayers of Thoon, Skull Lord, Spawn of Juiblex, the unique vampires, and the Wild Hunt.
While I was expecting a lot of "also-rans" and some diminishing returns on monsters this one actually is pretty good. The details are greater for each monster entry, so this explains the low monster-to-page ratio here.
Still, you have to be playing D&D 3.5 to really get the most out of these monsters.
#RPGaDAY2022 Day 29 - Who would you like to see take part in #RPGaDAY?
Who would you like to see take part in #RPGaDAY?
Honestly? I would like to see some of the big names in the industry do something with it. So Wizards, Paizo, and others. Sure, use it to sell your own games, but it would be fun to get some of the big names involved.
Though the more the merrier to be honest!
