The book I got a truly SURPRISING amount of use from would have to have been "Jade Dragons and Hungry Ghosts" from Green Ronin. I sucked dozens of ideas from that book for a heavy-undead campaign, and even got use of it elsewhere. Jade Dragons was actually the first non-WOTC d20 product I purchased, and for some strange reason I fell in love with the book. This was really surprising, considering I held no real expectations for the book when I bought it. Sadly, my copy retired recently after I brought it to a friend's campaign, only to have it doused in cheap cola. Alas, it will be missed. :(
It's a fine, fine book.
 

I am intrigued by AEG's Toolbox, which has a few reviews here. How do the tables in Toolbox compare to, say, the random urban encounters table in the 3.5 DMG?

I was also concerned by this review which notes some errors in the Toolbox stat block format. Anyone else care to comment on that?

My comment would be "true, but not telling." It doesn't significantly impact the utility of the book. It's more a matter of squandered space than making the content useless. (Though a jarring terminology error, I can ignore a bard's "spellbook.")

Mercinaries from AEG.

Spellslingers Guide from Kenzer.

I haven't seen the spellsinger's guide. What's in it?

I just picked up the new book Stealth and Style. It is at least as good as GR's class books and instantly usable in any intrigue laden game.


A couple of others I thought to add to the list:

Quintessential Cleric (best of the series)
Heroes of High Favor, Half-Orcs
 

I find myself going back to:

Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting
Races of Faerûn
Magic of Faerûn
Kingdoms of Kalamar Player's Guide
Star Wars Hero's Guide
Star Wars Galactic Campaign Guide
d20 Menace Manual
Alternity Dark*Matter Campaign Setting
 

Pets & Sidekicks
