[QUOTE="teitan, post: 943883, member: 3457"] So far I love the 3E Realms products as they have gotten the feeling of the old 1E stuff I loved so much, not so NPC happy and just chock full of good stuff that I can use that isn't necessarily just stat blocks and crunchy bits. Silver Marches is probably my favorite sourcebook in 3E outside of the main corebook. It is an example of how such a sourcebook needs to be done. How I use the other books varies, Lords of Darkness I use to create villains (duh) but I hold back the spells in Magic of Faerun for specific times of need. A scroll may appear or the characters deity may whisper the spell to him in a dream. I think it keeps the spells I don't want to use out of the campaign and the ones I like in it. Faiths & Pantheons really adds onto the FRCS and is a boon to people like me who don't have the old deity books. I got out of the Realms after the Time of Troubles and NPC freak fests became the norm. I hate that novels affect the canon of the setting. I don't have the UE book yet because I have been spending my money on Mutants & Masterminds and Oathbound products, but since I am only lacking a few books I will be getting the rest in a short time. One of my players got Races and it looks dang jimmity nifty to me. The one thing I love more than ANYTHING about the new books is that all the information is better spread out than it was in 2E. We don't have to reference other books to understand what is going on and WOTC seems to be doing an excellent job of being DM friendly with the great sidebars on using a different monster for those of us who didn't get Monsters for various reasons (in my case, prohibitive cost for such a small book, just recently got it from ebay for 9 bucks woohoo!!!) and keeping the books internally self referential. Good job WOTC. I am on the one hand glad they do not refer to Psionics outside of the Monster Manual version and at the same time wish they would refer to it so that so many of these sourcebooks like the PsiHB seem to be the ugly step-sister and glossed over.
