2006 WotC D&D Product Survivor

[Glyfair]

Now that the deity survivor is ending, along with the year, I thought I'd start a 2006 product survivor. I'm limiting it to WotC because there is no good single resource for a definitive list of 3rd party products for d20/D&D in a specific year (and the list would be unmanagable).

I'm being somewhat arbitrary in my list. I'm not including novels (not directly gaming oriented), miniatures (a separate category) or non-RPG oriented products (chess set, Three Dragon Ante).

I was considering avoiding campaign specific books so as to avoid the inevitable setting wars ("Eberron must die," "Forgotten Realms is for twinks," "Greyhawk is for old fogies") but decided that I'd see how they do. Personally, I do request that you vote based on the qualities of the actual product rather than some side agenda.

Vote for the product you think is least deserves to be on a "Best WotC D&D product of 2006" list." The top 3 vote-getters will be removed for the next round.

Damn, damn, damn! I voted for the product I liked the most! CURSES!

Demiurge out.

As much as I disliked Monster Manual IV, Complete Psionic was much less useful (and much less complete) than anything else on the list.

I voted for the Special Edition Monster Manual, on the grounds that a leatherbound edition of a three-year-old book is still less useful than the least useful new product.

I voted likewise, for the same reasons. In the past year, economic realities have forced me to acknowledge that while leather, foil stamped embossing, and pages accented with silver leaf may look very sexy, they don't add anything to a product in terms of function, which is what (for my money) game books should be first (functional, that is). The Special Edition Monster Manual looked great. For a player of the game's current edition it was as functional as on a boar.

Special Edition Monster Manual.

I'm not paying that much for something I already own.

Heh, me too. I just got so excited about taking a poll that I didn't bother to read the directions. I sure hope I don't knock out my favorite product!

MMIV...begone wretched abomination of a monster manual!

 

[diaglo]
