lets see.....

Hollow Earth Expedition - Exile Games

Conan OGL - Mongoose Publishing

Black Company - Green Ronin

All Flesh Must Be Eaten - Eden Studios

Players Hand book 3.5 /Complete warrior - they go together

Honorable mention:

DragonQuest - SPI I still pull that one out to read every now and then

Terra Primate - Eden Studios - I was blown away the first time i read it.

Alternity - Oh yeah

Buffy the vampire slayer - Eden Studios - Just a very fun read

I don't own all of these yet (something I'm in the process of correcting), but here's my top five choices:

First: True20 Adventure Roleplaying/Mutants & Masterminds (2e)*
Second: Star Wars Saga Edition
Third: Shadow Run (4e)
Fourth: Dread
Fifth: Hollow Earth Expedition

* These two games are similar enough that I just think you take the one depending on the kind of game you want to play.

Honorable Mention: It isn’t a book, but Tact-Tiles are the best universal RPG product I’ve ever bought hands down.

Thanks for the link Chaosdevice!

No problem! Anyone running a fantasy campaign needs that book, the tables are awesome.

Also, those of you have posted non-WOTC stuff, could you go back and edit your posts with links to the cool stuff? I hate having to google all of that stuff. Especially if they don't have a web presence.

Did what I could!

Very, very hard choices, but here goes . . .

I value content over production value or mechanics. Your mileage may vary.

#5: "D & D Rules Cyclopedia" by Aaron Aalston (Arguably still the best version of D&D)

#4: "Over the Edge" by Jonathan Tweet and Robin D. Laws. Nice to see someone already mentioned this one. It bears repeating.

#3: "Suppressed Transmissions" by Kenneth Hite. More gaming goodness per page than a Shoggoth can shake a pseudopod at.

#2: "Call of Cthulhu" by Sandy Peterson and Lynn Willis. Accept no substitute.

#1: "Delta Green" by Dennis Detwiller, Scott Glancy & John Tynes. Best. RPG book. Ever. (Honorable mention to DG: Countdown).
