Most useless book ever?

[kolikeos]

planar handbook, epic handbook and psionic handbook are all nice and good but i most certinely don't like em'. i never used these three so they're pretty useless to me.

Foundation

This dead-awful D20 Superhero game that came out right at the beginning of the OGL.

Just straight up terrible in every way it could be terrible.

Art, Crunch, Fluff, Concept, Layout...it all sucked.

The binding was ok I guess :\

Why must people keep bringing this up. I don't have the Sanity points to spare dangit!

I actually BOUGHT this book as an unsuspecting consumer. *Shudder*

3e Deities and Demigods. No contest. Useless.

oh, and that too...

 

[DungeonmasterCal]

Also, that product that DungeonmasterCal liked.

That thing was awful. Worst ever

Actually, I've never heard of it. I'm just waiting for the inevitable flamestorm that a thread like this generates.

So what's your most useless book ever?

Dragonlords of Melnibone d20

I can't even give it away, because I don't want to dump it on someone without telling them how awful it is, and then they decide they don't want it.

Kingdoms of Kalamar World Guide.

It's not a bad book, I just bought it and skimmed it and never, ever picked it up again. Not even the nifty hex transparency got torn out of the binding.

[foghorn]It was a joke son[/foghorn]

Seriously man, I was--seperate from Foundation (hence the "Also")--citing a non-specific game that you liked and claiming it sucked.

Pretty much the opening volley of a flamewar...indeed, the one you were predicting

 

[Teflon Billy]

Dragonlords of Melnibone d20

That's number two for me.

Anyone else smell smoke? Is it getting hot? I fear a flame war comin'.

I don't think so . The question for the "most useless book ever" is a very personal one. It asks for a book you got no use from whatsoever. Theoretically, this could be even a very good book that just happens to never come into play or deliver no inspiration because it's simply too far off from what you are doing in your game.

From my point of view, there are quite a few candidates. The Book of Exalted Deeds? The Epic Level Handbook? Deities and Demigods? These are WotC books that all share this common fate.

Most useless? City map book for Kalamar. Unless you just like randomish Campaign Cartographer-generated maps.
