I thought the short Secrets of the Dread Lords was good too. There were other products 3e/3.5 products I did not care for (the hero and villain splat books come to mind).Same for 2e ravenloft. Some great stuff like the Van Richten Guides and some fantastic sourcebooks and modules, but also atrocious ones with horrendous railroading and messing around with PCs in ways I felt were pretty terrible (surprise! you actually died offscreen an hour ago and were replaced by an impostur you've been playing since then) or that significantly went against core aspects of the setting (hey this entire low magic high skilled professional army is actually individually alchemically powered by a formula involving ground up Books of Vile Darkness!, yes the entire nation's army, each of them, and the formulae is a secret of the nation's wizard hating fighter leader).</blockquote>
