Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ulrick" data-source="post: 320573" data-attributes="member: 775">While I have bought crappy gaming were I want my money back, I haven't bought five crappy books for d20.The Hero Builder's Guidebook was kinda blah.There's been a couple modules: "The Fall of Constantiple" by Avalanche Press and another having to do with a Succubus bride that I've bought I wish I hadn't.  Yet "The Fall of Constantople" gave me some good idea so I should cross it off the list.But I can't name five for d20.Why?Because of EN World reviews.  I want to thank the people who do reviews for gaming products.  You've saved me time and money.I will however name the top five crappiest gaming things I've bought in my 13 years as a gamer. 5. 1 year membership to RPGA. In the summer of 2001 some of you may recall a topic called "RPGA: Good, Bad, or Inbetween".Well, I was convinced that it was good.  I was looking forward to getting the Polyhedron and the Greyhawk Campaign Journal.Soon afterwards they make the announcement that both magazine are getting shoved into Dungeon and Dragon--and that I'd be getting Dungeon with Polyhedron...which I didn't want.But I took a gander at Dungeon and thought why not?  So I waited for the subscription that never came.  Yet I did get a refund.I rate it number five because I don't like getting jerked around by the old "bait and switch" whether it was intentional or not.4. That damn zombie troglodyte Chaimail miniature.  Let's just say part of the flesh from my finger is now on the body of the mini, and still the arms and the weapon won't glue together!3. The Warhammer Boxed Set (6th ed?)  Anyway, I bought it last summer.  And after playing those god awful rules and painting some of the minis, I got fed up.  But I was warned by my friends that it was a horrid game.  I should have listened.2. Spellfire.  Remember the game that TSR cooked up in a weekend to compete with M:TG??? I do.  I invested a small chunk of money in it right before the announcement came wasn't going to support it anymore.1. The Wizard Player's Screen--The DM has a screen, why not you?  It had 'essential' tables that your wizard could use.  No need to look the stuff up in the PHB.  It came with a few sheets of spell lists for ease of use.For about 5 bucks I bought this item that wasn't a screen at all, it folded in three places much like those desert flyer things on a Perkins table.I opened it up, folded it, looked at it for a few minutes, and thought to myself "That was the worst five bucks I've spent on D&D stuff.  Why is TSR putting out such crap???"To this date, it is the only gaming supplement I've thrown away...Cheers.Ulrick</blockquote>
