[QUOTE="kenmarable, post: 4060835, member: 40359"] I really love all 3, but I voted for Eberron. The "best" product is too hard to quantify in my mind, so when I voted I figured that Eberron really seemed to epitomize a lot of what third edition is all about with the emphasis on action (while still having plenty of built-in room for INTERaction as well), massive amount of options for characters & adventure styles, plentiful magic, and ability to allow for most any piece of D&D to fit in. Eberron was clearly written for third edition, and for good or bad, it certainly shows. (I think that's a good thing since I love 3e and its assumptions and styles.) In my opinion, in the years to come, no matter what happens to Eberron or what rule editions come and go, I really see Eberron becoming an icon of third edition. Unearthed arcana has plenty of cool options, but I guess I don't see it as game changing as Eberron. And I am an utter Paizo fanboy (and wonder if they can just set up automatic deductions from my paycheck), and Pathfinder is awesome, and Rise of the Runelords a good adventure, but in the end, to me at least, it's still just a good adventure - although having the support material built in is pretty handy. Even though Tome of Magic is my utterly favorite 3e book (and is right up there with Savage Species/Complete Book of Humanoids as having been written for me personally), I'm not sure I would even vote for that as the "best" of third edition. It's certainly my favorite, but, at least for my personal criteria, Eberron stands as a real symbol of third edition, and so it gets my vote. [/QUOTE]
