[QUOTE="Wombat, post: 1746969, member: 8447"] I should assume we are not restricted to D20 only? Okay, the only WotC book I bought since 3.5 -- [I]Unearthed Arcana[/I]. This is also the [I]only [/I] D20 purchase I actively regret. I felt badgered into buying it and found that any rules in it I might have used I already had in another (better!) form from somewhere else. My [I]Dragon [/I] subscription lapsed. No further need for it. [I]Complete Book of Eldritch Might [/I] -- I had the first BoEM, but not the others. It was also nice to have the first set in a non-pdf format, as we were going to be using spells from it at the table and I hated the thought of actually printing the whole thing out. And the bit in the back converting spells, etc., over to AU sold me on it utterly :) [I]The Psychic's Handbook [/I] -- bought as a b'day gift for a friend, turned out he bought it for himself the week before; now if I ever decide to use psionics (low possibility) in a game, this will be the set of rules I use. [I]Medieval Player's Manual [/I] -- DWAH! DWAH! A Thousand Times DWAH! This is a great supplment! I wish I could move a campaign directly over to this supplment! This is undoubtably my favourite D20 supplement purchase this year! :D [I]Relics & Rituals: Excalibur [/I] -- bought because of my Arthurian obsession. Doesn't really strike me right, but there are a few amusing concepts in it. [I]Legends of Excalibur: Arthurain Adventures [/I] -- very nice job! Again bought due to my Arthurian obsession, but I feel this is probably the best D20 version of the legends either available or likely to be available. Takes the conventions built into D20 and does a pretty good job of twisting them around to fit the spirit of the legends. I have quibbles with this book, but only quibbles. Overall a superlative book. [I]Love & War [/I] -- great job! Written by David Chart, the same fellow who wrote up the [I]Medieval Player's Manual[/I], so it is pure quality. Actually, it wouldn't be too hard to combine the two... ;) [I]GURPS Transhuman Space [/I] -- [B]whopping [/B] great read, though I doubt I will ever play it under any system. [I]GURPS Arabian Nights [/I] and [I]GURPS Celtic Myth [/I] -- thank goodness for eBay! (actually that could be said for many of my purchases...) [I]Faerie Stories[/I], [I]Cause & Cure[/I], [I]Living Lore [/I] -- all Ars Magica supplements. I absolutely adore LL, I like FS, and C&C is of limited use. [I]The Dying Earth RPG [/I] -- eBay again. Not bad, but I doubt I'll be playing it anytime real soon (...though probably sooner than [I]Mechanical Dream[/I], but that is a separate issue and a different year...) That just about does it.
