[QUOTE="skippy_the_witch, post: 2381464, member: 18980"] Of the books listed, I would go with the DMG II, which I own. BUT, if you are looking for that sort of product, I recommend even more Green Ronin's Advanced GMs Guide. I found the stuff in it even more useful than the items already mentioned in DMGII, especially the power level rules for a campaign (mine is basically set at a +1 level adjustment, i.e. +1 races are considered +0, and +0 races are buffed a bit; The AGG helped me balance the races a bit better) and the backgrounds. As already stated, the DMGII is meant for the journeyman GM, someone who has been gaming a while but still has some basic questions. The AGG is for the more experienced GM, and offers more advice in balancing crunch and the like, with only a few nods towards the interconnection of the campaign fluff. I must say though that I have been slightly disappointed in the Book of Roguish Luck, especially when compared to other books in the series and the Complete Adventurer. But "ok" Malhavoc is still better than most of the rest of the published third party material. skippy The GM of The Cursed Earth Campaign [/QUOTE]
