[QUOTE="vulcan_idic, post: 1710738, member: 19615"] [b]A Friendly, yet dissenting Opinion[/b] I've been quite surprised actually with the list of books listed here as bland as many of them are some of my favorite and moste used books - including the ELH, Dieties and Demigods, BoED, Stronghold and Hero Builders guidebooks - I have found these all to be tremendously useful and engrossing. The books that make my bland list are ones that I have to labor through when I want to use them. I find them all to be good sources of information and concepts, but everytime I think they might have a solution to my current difficulty I drag my feet and think about goofing off rather than getting ready to game this week, because I know if I go to them I will be fighting to keep my eyes open within about 20 minutes - which is really unfortunate considering the the vast utility (most of them) present... That being said, my list is as follows: Kingdoms of Kalamar - where most of the ones without the saving grace of being useful are The Quintessential Series - not sure what it is, I love their content and I always know they'll be useful, but when I read them I fall into a deep deep sleep Monte Cooke's Books - Again, tremendously useful - I particularly like Arcana Unearthed and The Complete Book of Eldritch Might, but inevitably upon opening them these too cause slumber to all too soon fog my unwilling brain. Thats it in a nutshell more or less. [/QUOTE]
