[QUOTE="cybernetic, post: 308663, member: 1542"] I've just been pondering lately about what type of books i am trully interested in...and I've come to the conclusion that I prefer crunchy sourcebooks that aren't tied to a specific setting...and I began to wonder how the rest of the d20 community felt on the subject.... (not sure if there has been a poll about this in the past...if so..i'm sorry) some clarifications.... - New Settings and Setting Specific sourcebooks This would include main campaign setting books and any splat books or such related to the setting. (i.e. FRCS, Magic of Faerun, Lords of Darkness, etc.) - Non-Setting Specific Sourcebooks This would include stuff like Traps & Treachery by FFG, The Quintessential Books by mongoose (Q.Fighter, Q.Wizard,etc.) and even books about specific cities that can be dropped into any campaign...basically a book that focused on a specific topic or list of topics and expand them in a "generic" (read non-setting specific) way.. ( I would considered the WotC splatbooks to be part of this too...they expand on the classes and and not a setting) - Adventure Modules Umm..well...i hope you know what I mean by this...:D - Collection Books This would contain any book that is just a collection of a particular topic or "thing" without much rule information..books like Rings of Power, any Monster Compendium, the recently released Swords to Plowshares pdf, and even SSS's Relics and Rituals even though it is Setting specific it doesn't really detail the setting (its primarily a collection of spells w/ a few prestige classes) .
