The Best & Worst of 3rd Edition: SINGLE BEST Product of 3rd edition (poll closed)

[acorania]

actually I would have liked a poll that connects the votes to the users profiles and only counts it if they had over 100 posts - just as a control to see how much the linking to other boards effected the poll in the long run (yes as you can see this is my first post on these boards- I never had the time to be addicted to another set of boards before)

So we regular lurkers shouldn't be able to vote? Sure I have only posted a few times, but I have been a member for a long time and am a very regular reader... intersting...

If d20 Traveller isn't on the list, then its not worth voting on.

Interesting selection

Frankly, none of my favorites are on here. I'm surprised that the PH, for example, isn't present, nor either of the DMGs, nor the 3.5 MM.

With 222 votes all by itself, Eberon is looking pretty solid.

And with 1701 votes...I was wrong,

Pathfinder: Rise of the Runelords (Pz) 20.05%
Eberron Campaign Setting (WotC) 18.81%
Ptolus (MP) 13.17%

This poll is so weird. First it was Eberron. Then it was Ptolus. Now it's pathfinder.

It is an internet poll on a fan-based message board. What did you expect? For the record: I did get here through Monte's Message Board, but I did vote Eberron.

P.S. Funny, I rarely visit these boards, and I have not posted much in years. Still I beat that 100 post count

 

[MrFilthyIke]

I voted Eberron as there is so much
packed in that one book I have game
after possible game for years to come
(w/o being daunting like Ptolus).

Although the following are FANTASTIC books:
Draconomicon (WotC)
Spell Compendium (WotC)
Tome of Horrors I (rev.) (NG)

Unearthed Arcana: it made an already useful toolkit for fantasy massively adaptable to differing themes/approaches.

 

[catsclaw227]

Personally, I went with Ptolus, but if I had a choice, the best d20 book for me, as a DM, was Green Ronin's Book of the Righteous. The best D&D pantheon ever...

How about if we link it to longevity of account? Or to include only those with community supporter accounts?
