2006 WotC D&D Product Survivor - Round 3

[Glyfair]

This round Mysteries of the Moonsea (disliked because people didn't want adventure material in their setting books), Tome of Battle: Book of Nine Swords (disliked largely because of the flavor) and Power of Faerûn (which no one really gave a reason for) all get the boot.

Next time guys, try to give some cogent reasons for your vote rather than the "it sucked" comments that PoF was getting (yes, I'm sure they were thrashed out in other threads, but I don't have time to hunt them all down). I'd like to try to give some reasons why a product was voted off, even if it's not universal. (You don't need to repeat the same reason across multiple threads of this series, I just want reasons to put down when it's voted off).

Vote for the product you think least deserves to be on the "WotC's best D&D products of 2006" list. Again, I implore everyone to vote based on the product's virtues, rather than any side agendas (such as campaign world, cover artists, etc).

Again, the top 3 vote-getters will be removed.

BTW, the fact that votes are public is a mistake. If a mod wants to go in and tweak this (if they can), feel free.

Phi. I was gonna vote Fiendish Codex, but with THESE insane criteria I'll skip the whole poll. Who owns all this stuff anyways? I only got one out of the lot of them.

Still voting for D&D Basic Game for the same reasons as last thread.
If you like it, you have to buy the PHB anyway.
If you don't like it, you can't find anyone to buy yours from you.

How has that Player's Kit not been knocked out?

I suspect it's because many people never bought it.

 

[GAAAHHH]

I voted Races of the Dragon. I didn't really like any of the races books, and Races of the Dragon didn't do it for me either. The half-dragon was too powerful, the spellscale? was goofy looking, and the fluff didn't fit the mechanical benefits.

And the kobold stuff... It's fine if some kobolds believe they're descended from dragons. But for all kobolds to be dragon-blooded is a bit much.

I appreciate the options in the game, but out of all these books, this is(in my opinion) the weakest.

I'm still voting PHB2 for the reasons stated in the first poll.

Tome of Battle got booted for THAT? Tome of Battle is freakin' awesome, I've heard tons of members here and WotC boards say it. Wow, I can tell these polls are being voted on by D&D scrooges. :\

I'm voting Cityscape until it's booted. It was horribly done and should've received the same format as the other "Environment series". I was very disappointed in it. The "crunch" was bare minimum and the "fluff" was redundant and half of it already written in DMG 2. Sad sad book. I really have no clue as to what exactly it was supposed to accomplish? I am hoping Dungeonscapes is better.

I do Well, almost all of them

Same here. It's not uncommon.
