2006 WotC D&D Product Survivor - Player's Handbook II is the sole survivor!

More people own, or are at least more familiar with PHBII, than own (or are familiar with) FCII.

Therefore, they vote for what they know (and, generally speaking, like).

I think it's pretty much that simple. So, it's not "which one is better" at work here, but "which one has sold better". AFAIK, anyhow.

PHB II for teh win!

Heh. And yet in the earlier rounds, plenty of people voted off products that they hadn't seen/read...

Er, which is precisely what I was saying.

 

[Echohawk]

Ah, yes. I see what you mean now. I thought you meant that they were voting off books that they were more familiar with, rather than voting to keep those books.

I'm surprised that FCII outlasted FCI though -- I'd have thought that more people were familiar with FCI than FCII, given the fairly recent release of the second one.

FC2 - no interest. Never bought it, never cracked it open to browse it. I got the FC books back when they were the BoVD.
PHB 2 - Excellent book and used every session.

PHB2 for the win!!!

FCII is a very good product but as a player (and not a DM) I use the PHB2 much more and I believe it has had a greater impact on our game than the monster series has.

 

[EyeontheMountain]

Cool. One codex down, finally. One to go.

 

[BryonD]

I gotta go with the remaining Codex, although I prefer FC1 by quite a large margin. Oh well, in true Survivor fashion, the best competitor doesn't make it to the end. :\

Yes it did.

The PHB2 deserved it. The FCs may be more fun to -read-, but the PHB2 has more stuff to use in a session. It's also the only book in the 3.5 era that several of my players have bought copies of. In fact, it's well-rounded enough that I think I'd consider games using just the PHB and PHB2 as player resources -- the Completes are far too spotty (wu jen and spelltheif, anyone?) to ever be as universally useful.
