Rules Compendium. It did have the best take on Skill Challenges. About the best thing, mechanically, to come out of the Essentials debacle.I heard good things about DMG2 and later works aimed at the DM (Rules Cyclopedia maybe?),
Nod, if you'd already moved on from D&D, there are simply better games out there. 4e was a great leap for D&D, but, ironically, was still very much D&D.but I wasn't going to keep chasing a system that offered so little initially and frankly offered a style of game I enjoy in other genres where I already have favourite systems like TfOS, BESM, and Strands of FATE.
