[QUOTE="discosoc, post: 6986872, member: 6801554"] The 3e Forgotten Realms campaign book is still the most accurate one for the setting. The 4e version is only useful if you're running spellplague adventures. But since they've kind of retcon'd or reversed some of the more divisive changes from that era, 3e is surprisingly still useful. The Dragonlance source book from 3e is very good, assuming you are interested in that setting. The 4e Monster Manual is still a great purchase. The rules don't exactly work for 5th, but the monsters had much more interesting abilities that you can easily add into 5e encounters. The 3e Epic Level Handbook is a useful tool for GM's looking for advice on running high level stuff. A lot of what's discussed actually becomes relevant by about Tier 3 in 5e. Hammerfast, a 4E book about a dwarven outpost, is pretty awesome as inspiration for a "home base." It can easily be reskinned for humans. [/QUOTE]
