The Best & Worst of 3rd Edition: FINAL FIVE: PHB II, UA, Eberon, Ptolus, Pathfinder

[Turjan]

I have everything on that list. From this selection, my vote goes to Ptolus.

I agree, Ptolus without a doubt.

How come everyone posting here is saying Ptolus, but Eberron has more votes?

Someone said in the last poll that non-members can vote on these polls. They cannot post, though.

Edit: Yes, it's true. I logged out, and you can just vote again. It's ridiculous.

The PHB II is amazing. Like the poster a few up said, it's solid gold for players, and opens up some really cool new paths for their advancement.

However, my vote goes to Eberron. It's a very innovative and well-made world, and it's a welcome break from the same cookie-cutter fairy-tale world. I especially like the new takes on some of the races, such as the expansionist nature of the Valenar elves and the druidic traditions of the orcs. It makes for more interesting and more well rounded characters.

Yeah, you'd think we needed to use the honor system or something.

At least in theory, I've hidden poll results 'til the poll closes.

Messageboard polls aren't exactly designed to be high-security; their priority is accessibility. Especially on EN World, where polls can appear on the front page, and need to be votable on by non-members. They're good for a fun poll, as long as nobody treats it too seriously or tries to decide anything important with them.

If you're after a high-security poll, you need to use a system other than a messageboard thread poll.

I can see the poll results, PC.

I voted PHB2, even though both Ptolus and Pathfinder are outstanding campaigns, they are just that, campaigns. I find it much easier to create my own campaigns and adventures, compared to creating classes, feats or other (balanced) rules.

Ergo PHB2 and UA were much more valuable to me.

Eberron has gained nearly 100 votes in an hour, while other options have gotten very few. I think it safe to say these polls are no longer 'pure'.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

I'm very surprised Ptolus hasn't done better.
