Well, you're not supposed to actually use them all, though. ;) They have a
vast variety so you can choose which ones you want to give your settings more
of a real folklore/mythological feel. Like an Arabian setting? You can just
choose the genies and desert dwelling creatures. Want an ancient British Isle
setting? You've got plenty of creatures drawn straight from Celtic folklore to
choose from. I really like having that variety to give settings atmosphere.
Now, if only I had a group to game with... :(
