2006 WotC D&D Product Survivor - Round 8

[Glyfair]

Last round the Fantastic Locations: The Frostfell Rift (voted off because it's marketed to both RPG players & miniature players largely) and Dragon Magic (no real comments).

Vote for the product you think least deserves to be on the "WotC's best D&D products of 2006" list. I ask everyone to vote based on the product's virtues, rather than any side agendas (such as campaign world, cover artists, etc). Yet again, the top 2 vote-getters will be removed.

Whoops, my bad --- I hit Fiendish Codex II when I meant to hit Faiths of Eberron.

Yes, I drink a lot.

@Glyfair: Why do you hate the number 8? Perhaps, 7 is your lucky number .

Faiths of Ebberon, hopefully 3rd time is a charm.

 

[delericho]

"Scourge of the Howling Horde" is still here? Hopefully, not for much longer...

 

[GeorgeFields]

Faiths of Ebberon, hopefully 3rd time is a charm.

Hell, ANYTHING Eberron.

Aye, I am an Eberron fan and I'm very surprised the three books for it are still in the running....especially Faiths of.

Out of curiosity, was it the crappy production values or the actual story that you didn't like about Howling Horde?

For me, it was production value and the quality of the printed material that made this one a dog, but I thought the adventure was a nice introductory one for newish players.

Howling Hordes to me was just plain bad. The only product that I have paid for and returned it was so bad. The new dungeon format is ok but in this book it made it seem like not much was there. It seems decent for a newbie DM and players but as a teaching tool for a veteran DM and newbie players, the Sunless Citadel is much better (one of my favourite adventures to run as well).

I really loved the new encounter format in Howling Horde, but that was all I loved, I'm afraid.

I'm also surprised that the Eberron books are still around, and I'm a fan of the setting. I think that the top five will probably contain Red Hand, Ravenloft, the two Fiendish Codices, and perhaps the PHB2. Paring things down from there will be exceedingly difficult.
