Review
"While it’s hard to predict what 2008 will bring,
I’ll say this: right here, right now, if you only buy one
rpg book this year, make it this one. Yes, it’s really
that good." By
Petri Weissman, April 21, 2008.

Review
"I have been thoroughly delighted with Monsters+. Indeed, I’ve spent a lot of time reading through the game, taking my own notes on a new campaign location and making a few sample characters. My ring binder-bound version of the PDF has been a fairly constant companion since I got it. I can’t
recall the last time a game held my attention quite so firmly."

Review
"The writers had fun making it, playtesting
it, and editing it. You know intellectually that
this was a labour of love, but what’s even
more evident is the joy and mayhem that went into
the production. How can you not love a game that
has sidebars entitled 'Unique and Special Snowflakes,'
and headings such as 'Great, Now I'm on Fire'?"
By Kevin Veale, February 18, 2008.
