I stumbled through a few games over 20 years ago. I never liked the rules but LOVED the setting material. I still have all the space atlases on my shelf and pull them out once a year or so to reread them. The game really lived up to it's name, with all sorts of kitchen sink items in it. I...

I agree that adventures help to bring a setting into more focus; especially for settings that aren't your traditional high fantasy or space opera. I'm reading Tribe 8 right now and I'm overjoyed that there are adventure paths to help me wrap my mind around the richness of the setting and run an...

Yes, Midnight is still part of FFG. Still waiting on the Midnight based movie to come. Maybe by this year's Gencon.

So, if you had $15 to spend which 6-7 would you pick up? Hstio

I thought the breakout was interesting. Of the top 12 products, 8 were system/rules books, 3 were setting books, and one was a hybrid adventure path/setting. As I'm more and more leaning toward rules lite systems, I voted for Midnight, my favorite setting of the 3.0/3.5 era. I enjoyed Ptolus...

Midnight's covenant items do scale as the character goes up in level. Hstio

While a lot of the responses have centered on directly lifting things out of other books, my choices are based on books that altered the way I approached writing and creating game settings. The two most influential were the first Relics and Rituals book and the First edition of the Midnight...

Another vote for Five Fingers, the best city book I've ever seen. The city feels more "alive" then other fantasy cities and very believable. Second would be Sanctuary and third would be Greyhawk. Hstio

While it's a city setting, Five Fingers from Privateer Press is what I'll use in the future as a model for designing cities. The it handles influence and the power structure are outstanding. The single best book I've read in the past 2 years. Hstio

Midnight 2nd edition hands down. Great setting and an interesting adaptation of the rules. Hstio

Outstanding!! It's been a month since the last update, is this story hour dead (hopefully not)? Hstio

Leatherfut, Thanks for the advice. I'm going to pass on the adventures unless they have significant setting information in them. I'm also a little leary about Geanavue as I heard it overly detailed and dry. Loona sounds interesting, as well as Secrets of the Alubelok Coast and the Pekal...

With the 75% off sale on KoK books, I'm tempted to pick some setting (non-crunch or little crunch) books. I've thought about picking up a couple of the race books in the past (Fury in the Wastelands and Strength and Honor). Any recommendations? How about Dangerous Denizens? The only two...

I support any attempt to put out systemless setting material. Like many GM's, I rarely use the statted out NPC's as writen, having to adjust levels, abilities, and items to suit the current needs of my campaign. Lots of stat blocks limits the amount of setting material you can get into a book...

Limited to three, I'd say: 1. Midnight 2nd edition (a setting that has dominated my life for the past 4 years) 2. Iron Kingdoms Character/World Guide (I know I cheated, but I think of them as a set) 3. Ptolus (on scope and production standards alone) Hstio

Favorite setting: Midnight Runners up: Greyhawk first with Birthright a close second Hstio

Another vote for Noble Knight. They respond to offers quickly and they gave a fair price in store credit (whicch I instantly used). Hstio

Some of the earlier posts talked about a very limited run for a campaign setting, say 3-4 books. FFG did this with Dawnforge and meant to do the same with Midnight before it became clear that the setting was popular enough to warrent more books. The business model is fairly sound, a campaign...

Midnight: Honor and Shadow is a D20 product, it's in the wrong ccategory on your list. Hstio

The next D+D movie should be out by Gen Con - the one FFG iss doing for Midnight. I'm hoping it doesn't put the setting to shame. Hstio
