3E Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting book.

I'm not even a Realms fan but that book is so well done and so densely packed with info that it's one of the only 3x era WOTC books I kept after I got rid of the bulk of my other 3x stuff.

I guess if I was pressed, it'd be the Hero System 4th Edition hardcover (aka the Big Blue Book).

A little Prime would be needed, I think, to finalize the pattern.

I don't want to derail the thread any further than necessary.

To try and get back on track, if Mage was my favorite book ever, then Werewolf would probably be a close second.

Big Blue was Champions:

the non-Champions HSR4 core was this:

And about half the thickness.

The way things are looking so far? It will probably be Stonetop.

My runner-up. I Still use it more than any other DMG despite not having run 1E since 1989.

The oldest DnD book I still have on my shelf because nothing has ever even come close to replacing it.

Hard question.

Burning Wheel Adventure Burner has had big impact on my GMing.

I've had a lot of play out of various Greyhawks, starting with the Gazetteer.

Most favorite? Not sure, but it’s definitely one of my favorites: the Rules Compendium for 4e. It’s a well-organized and easy to read book of rules. I read it cover to cover.
