10 / 10Ars MysteriorumIndispensable. Nearly every creature neatly listed in its entirety, including all the forms of Nyarlathotep from the Complete Masks of Nyarlathotep. Wonderful.
10 / 10NightwalkerWhen joined with the wholly unclean Keeper's Companions, only the greatest of evils can be created. This is the definitive guide to monsters for H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. If you intend to craft your own campaigns, this book is essential.
9 / 10Jason DA top-notch resource for anyone playing Call of Cthulhu or using any BRP-related game.
8 / 10fhansGreat compendium of mythos and related horror game creepy crawlies. Exhaustive collection from every supplement and resource printed.
8 / 10BlinkyThe art in the Malleus Monstrorum edition is great. Rather than directly illustrating the creatures, it pretends to be found materials relating to them: advertisements, x-rays, old woodcuts, medical illustrations, etc.
8 / 10owe for the fleshMalleus Monstrorum's visuals are incredible. The book contains images of artifacts from antiquity all the way to the early 20th Century that show a Mythos influence. Very subtle, very creepy, and very Lovecraftian.
7 / 10ShannonAA very nice compilation of literary monstrosities. But I edited the book, so I may be biased.
5 / 10WoodSuch a massive disappointment. A collection of stats for, in some places, pretty identikit squiggy monsters. Lovely, inspiring art, but oh, such a missed opportunity.

Ratings Explanation

The following components make up a rating:

Ratings. The ratings that users enter into this index are each averaged into the final rating with a weight of between 0 and 4, with weight based on trust algorithms.

Reviews. Each review is averaged into the final rating with a weight of 8. Sometimes reviews can skew high, but they also display fan interest (or disdain) in a product.

Content. The average rating of each content--before its own bayesian weight is inserted--is averaged into the final rating. The weight of a content is equal to its own weight divided by the number of contents, and divided again if it only appears in a fraction of editions.

Bayesian Weight. A rating of 5.00 is inserted into the final rating with a weight of 35. This is an arbitrary weighting of the average rating that keeps things toward the center until they're better rated.
