 Goin' Through the Fiend Folio

Review Series Archive

Starting in December 2020, I started doing a monster-by-monster (more or less) review of the Fiend Folio, one of the more maligned monstrous menageries of Dungeons & Dragons history, and one of my all-time favorites! This review series ended up dragging out into the longest-running distinct series on the blog, taking 5 years for my to actually complete because I just kept taking hiatuses and pauses in reviewing, but this year (2025) I finally wrapped it up.
