Favorite D&D books

[RogueRonin]

For me it's either Draconomicon or Manual of The Planes.

 

[Desdichado]

If by D&D book you mean Wizards of the Coast produced products, I'd say probably Manual of the Planes. If by D&D book you mean any d20 book compatible with D&D, I'd say Monsternomicon although the Book of Fiends gives it a real run for its money.

 

[Arnwyn]

Oh, good heavens. I can't just pick one. (I'll stick with D&D meaning "TSR/WotC products".)

BD&D = Keep on the Borderlands
1e = I3-5 Desert of Desolation
2e = 2e FR box set
3e = Serpent Kingdoms

Note: This list changes monthly in its entirety.

 

[VorpalBunny]

Arnwyn is right - it's hard to pick just one...

My fave "books" (i.e. not adventures) would have to be:

the AD&D 1st edition DMG
Valley of Dust and Fire for Dark Sun
Third edition Uearthed Arcana
The Planeswalker's Handbook for Planescape (makes the 3.5 "Planar Handbook" look downright bad in comparision)
The third edition FRCS

 

[Wombat]

(gads! I beat diaglo on this one!)

The Three Little Books.

All the way back to Labor Day Weekend, 1975

Other books have been good, without a doubt, but these books started it all for me and still are hallowed in my home

 

[Treebore]

D20 only here:

Book of the Righteous
Magical Medievel Societies:Western Europe
Wilderlands
Tome of Horrors 2

Favorite Adventures:
Lost City of Barakus
Grey Citadel

I have a number of other books and adventures that I like, but these are my favorites.

 

[Kanegrundar]

My favorite book (from WotC) would have to be either the FRCS, Eberron, or OA. Now the book that I've been using the most lately is Savage Species.

[Henry]

The Tom Moldvay-edited Basic D&D book. My first experience with D&D.

*looks at the ceiling and sighs*

 

[Krieg]

1st Edition DMG

It is one of the few books I can still sit down and just read for fun...

 

[PJ-Mason]

For strictly D&D books (not D20 or OGL) thats an easy one.

Manual of the planes.
