d20 Sleeper Hits

[trancejeremy]

I'd vote for Deadlands d20. It's much maligned, but I think it's great.

I don't know if it will ever be hit, but I agree that Alchemy & Herbalists is a great book and covers unexplored territory. It is probably my favorite 3rd party product.

Alchemy and Herbalists fills a niche nicely.

I am so happy to see both Psion and The Colonel mention To Stand on Hallowed Ground, nice work from Mike Mearls.

I have also got a terrific amount of use from Mongoose's Seas of Blood, which doesn't seem to get much mention on these boards.

Jade Dragons & Hungry Ghosts.

Absolutely. If we're just talking about which ones were useful, both this and Creatures of Rokugan (another "sleeper") were used quite a bit during my OA campaign.

Creature Collection II

I know many people heard about it so not technically a sleeper, but I bet all of you had low expectations after the first one turned out the way it did.

But to Stand on Hallowed Ground was excellent as well and should get top nods for that

I agree with Broadsides. It's my favorite of the three big naval supplements but seems to be the least mentioned of the three.

I'd also add Librum Equitis. It's got really solid and flexible material that can be easily adapted to homebrew, or even other published, settings.

As much as I like Mike's stuff, I actually found The Ghost Machine (by James Bell) the more interesting of the two adventures. But Mike's adventure was rockin', too!

the stronghold builders guide, good stuff, but never seemed to get the respect i feel it deserved.

it takes a certain style of play, and contains no "adventure"

I agree with this. The Ghost Machine is a fun little adventure with a lot of big implications, and I liked it just a bit better than To Stand On Hallowed Ground. But TSOHG was pretty good itself.

3 Days to kill for a module, and Path of Swords for a book.
