[QUOTE="Christian, post: 78462, member: 381"] 1. 1E Dungeon Master's Guide. How can anyone DM without it? :) 2. Dungeon Master's Design Kit. (Hey, you too, huh? I thought I bought the only one! ;) ) The random tables help generate new and unique ideas when I'm in a rut, and the forms also come in handy ... 3. The Book of Lairs & The Book of Lairs II. A collection of mini-adventures, usually based on just one creature from the Monster Manual. I think the idea was to give the DM something to grab if his % in Lair check came up positive on a wandering monster. :) Some neat adventure ideas to tie the lair into a plot in there, though, too. Um, that's it, really. I still have my 1E Player's Handbook and Unearther Arcana, but mainly for nostalgia-I don't use them for anything. My 2nd Edition books are all making the 'fill' in a landfill somewhere ... [/QUOTE]
