[QUOTE="Gary N. Mengle, post: 3182606, member: 8765"] When D&D3.0 was released I bought the heck out of it, and amassed a big shelf full of stuff, a lot of which never got much looked at since I wasn't playing it at the time. Around the release of 3.5 I sold the lot of it off. Now I'm looking at running a weekly D&D campaign, so the time has come to rebuild a D&D library, and I intend to be fairly selective. I already picked up the 3.5 PH and DMG, and plan to get a Monster Manual next. But looking at the D&D shelves at the FLGS, there is a [i]ton[/i] of other stuff that I'm totally unfamiliar with. What, specifically, should I buy? I'm looking at some kind of epic-type campaign (though starting at 1st level,) probably using Greyhawk, which I don't really need much setting material for. It seems right now like this will be Age of Worms, or maybe Savage Tide once I get the chance to look at it. So I'm looking for sourcebooks, monster books, rules expansions and the like. Or maybe a different epic campaign than AoW, ST or Shackled City. Probably sticking with baseline WotC/Paizo stuff, but more out of a desire to have a manageable selection of books to choose from than out of any disdain for third-party product. If there is third-party stuff that's really great and meshes seamlessly with the core, tell me about it. Also, if anyone recommends 3.0 material, is there a source online that summarizes the differences and/or has conversion notes? [/QUOTE]
