[QUOTE="Psion, post: 3160546, member: 172"] True, but if you just use core rules, you are just as bad of if you used everything. There is no contribution of the rules materials to the flavor of the game. AFAIAC, Core + 5-10 "central" supplements defining the flavor of the setting, with occasional "guest supplements" as needed, are the way to go. Examples: [B]Planar Campaign:[/B] Core books Planar Handbook Portals & Planes Classic Play: Book of the Planes Fiend Folio Book of Fiends Savage Species (racial classes for outsiders) Aasimar & Tiefling [b]Seafaring Campaign:[/b] Core Books Stormwrack Freeport Seas of Blood Out of the Boundless Blue Creatures of Freeport [b]Demon Hunting Campaign[/b] Core Books Demon Hunters Handbook Fiend Folio Book of Fiends Holy Warrior's Handbook Unholy Warrior's Handbook Fiendish Codex I [b]Asian Fantasy Campaign[/b] Core Books Oriental Adventures Complete Arcane Legends of the Samurai Kitsunemori Jade Dragons and Hungry Ghosts Creatures of Rokugan [b]Psionic Campaign[/b] Core Books Expanded Psionics Handbook Hyperconscious Complete Psionic Monsters of the Mind Mindshadows Campaign Setting Minds Eye Articles @wizards.com [b]Desert Campaign[/b] Core Books Sandstorm Unearthed Arcana (for desert Races) Egyptian Adventures: Hamunaptra Coils of Set adventure Desert Heroes Necropolis Perhaps Libris Mortis [b]Horror Campaign:[/b] Core Books Heroes of Horror Darkness & Dread Lords of Madness Call of Cthulhu D20 Unearthed Arcana (grittier campaign variants) Book of Vile Darkness Darkwalkers [b]Undead Campaign:[/b] Core Book Lords of the Night: Liches Savage Species Libris Mortis Undead Necromancer's Legacy You get the idea.
