[QUOTE="RFisher, post: 1746921, member: 3608"] I forgot to say how I liked them... [b]Pocket PHB:[/b] Love it. It does the job. It's compact. I like it better than both printouts of the SRD or even a WotC PHB. [b]BESM:[/b] I dunno. I keep thinking I should like it since it's almost a lighter variant of GURPS. As much as I like anime, the anime angle in BESM turns me off for some reason. It was a good price & something I wanted in my collection, but I don't know when I'll get around to using it. [b]B3:[/b] I'd been wanting to see the green cover since WotC put the orange cover online. It's very interesting. While the orange cover may had too many loose ends (or not, depending upon taste), the green cover manages to wrap almost all of them up in a package that might be too tight. Definately important for my collection & understanding the history of the hobby. I'll probably mine some ideas from it. I might even run it pretty much as it at some point. [b]B4:[/b] A classic module I'm happy to have finally acquired & read. I'm definately stealing ideas from it even if I never run it directly. [b]X1:[/b] I originally bought the stand-alone Expert rulebook, so I never had a copy of X1.
