4e 3rd Party Products You Would Have Bought

[Rechan]

Which ones were did you not find broken?

The ones I didn't buy?

One product that springs to mind was actually Mongoose's Necromancy book. A lot of their stuff I found horribly powerful, but the Necromancer book was less so.

I didn't get to use much of my 3e stuff, alas. DMs would say no to most things that weren't CORE, and players weren't interested either.

You know, I take that back. There is a book I would have bought at launch:

Monstronomicon 4e.

Preferably not just a conversion. But the same guys who wrote the Monstronomicon to do a 4e monster book, I'd snatch that thing up so fast.

My favorite 3pp products are adventure-seed type things. The Foul Locales and En Route products were nice. A little rough around the edges, but I liked the notion. The GM Gems book by Goodman is another example; all fluff, but basically fodder for interaction, to fill in the gaps between battles.

I'm not real fond of 3pp character books - my experience from 3e was generally poor and soured me on the concept, mostly on balance issues.

I'd like to see settings, NPC's, monsters, traps, and other cool ideas to crib from. I thought Scarred Lands was great, and would love to see a conversion.

Arcana Unleashed! That would get my attention, and my money, and probably get me playing 4E.

I don't play 4th ed, but I still might pay money for new Scarred Lands material. Depends on the crunch (which is useless to me) to fluff ratio. I fact, I was pushing for "sytem neutral" Scarred Lands before people started using the term!

The ones I didn't buy?

So, what of the list did you actually have and liked? And if that's none, then what did you not buy?

I don't use published adventures

If I was going to use a published setting, I'd use Forgotten Realms

If it isn't on Character Builder, as far as I'm concerned it doesn't exist

If a monster isn't on DDI Compendium(where I can cut/paste/print it), as far as I'm concerned it doesn't exist


That kind of rules 4E 3pp out for me, sadly.

I didn't buy 4e at launch so I would not have bought any of these at launch either.

 

[Shemeska]

I need a 'None' option.

I liked Relics and Rituals. It had flavor to it, although I never actually used anything. I just dug reading it. (I liked Scarred Lands in the 3.0 era). One thing I really liked about R&R is that the spells indented the fluff text. Then it had a section for the spell origin/place in the setting. THEN it had the section for the rules. It really cut down on mixed interpretations.

Tome of Horrors was nice.
