D&D 5E SURVIVOR Supplement Edition--Volo's Guide Wins!

Inspired by the many other threads we've had (credit to lowkey13), this time the topic is supplements. In order to keep the list manageable, I am not counting core rulebooks or variations thereof (like PHB2, UA, etc). Nor am I including supplements that target any specific class (like Complete Fighter's guide) or campaign setting (like FR, Ravenloft, etc). It also excludes DM screens and character sheets. This list includes more generic supplements meant to be beneficial to every table regardless of PC make up and any setting.

Thread rules, per lowkey:

IMPORTANT NOTE- DOWNVOTES ARE WORTH 2 IN THIS THREAD.

Each supplement starts with 15 points (because there are many options) and you vote for one supplement you like which gets 1 point and a supplement you dislike which loses 2 points. It is intentional that a negative vote is worth more than a positive vote- first, we don't want to be here all year. Second, because.

Upvotes are in green, downvotes are in in red (unless you are on your phone, and are unable to). Copy and paste the previous posters vote and change the numbers. You may vote once per day. This is an honor system, and we are all honorable gamers; please do not abuse it. If this means you vote once at night one day, and once the next morning - that's fine, but don't vote again until the following day. This is also purely a popularity contest and you do not have to explain an upvote or downvote, but feel free to- explanations are where the fun is! When downvotes reach 0 the supplement is eliminated (FATALITY!). Finally, if a subclass has one vote left, then you have to make the choice to use all of your downvotes to eliminate it; there is no vote splitting. Also, to clarify- there are no "see votes." You cannot upvote and downvote the same subclass.

With no further ado, here are the list (doesn't include everything for space, but the popular ones):
