Hi, I bought EN Critters Volume 2 and am very pleased with it. This is my first purchase of a bundle of E.N. Publishing books and its definitely "no regrets" for me.

<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: This book contains more than 24 monsters all following a specific theme - for volume 2, the theme is monsters encountered while players are camping for the night. What made this range of monster books special for me are the "Notes and Game Balance" section for each meticulously designed monster. This section explains the genesis of the monster idea, what baseline monster was used to design it, and how tweaks were made to adjust the monster to the final vision and the appropriate Challenge Rating. I found the artwork to be very cartoonish for some monsters, magnificently imaginative at times and very colorful.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: There was no background information for the specific themed area in this volume (for example, Volume 1 described a jungle environment dotted with ruins). Also, I found it way too short - at only 52 pages.

Fortunately, I bought the entire bundle (Volumes 1 to 6) and now I have 360 pages worth of wonderful critters to throw at my players.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br><BR>[THIS REVIEW WAS EDITED]<BR>

These creatures were usable and some were even good. It was okay for the money.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>
