Well, these are in order, but I'm using a Fuzzy Math processor run through Babelfish backwards - so good luck figuring out what the real order is ;)

Core Books (can't play without 'em - good thing they are so well done)
Relics & Rituals
Creature Collection 2
Wise & Wicked
Scarred Lands DM's Screen & Compaion
Pisonics Handbook (I regret the money spent because I haven't gotten to get any use out of it but it is extremely well written and all the mechanics seem solid)
Star Wars Revised
Masters of the Wild
Sword and Fist
Tome and Blood
Mithril : City of the Golem ties with Hollowfaust: City of the Necromancers


Can you see a trend here? (actually I didn't realize how much Scarred Lands stuff i have until now - and it still beats out all the other d20 stuff I've bought :) )
 

No particular order:
1. Spycraft
2. Oriental Adventures
3. Encyclopedia Arcane: Constructs
4. Faiths and Pantheons (absolutely excellent book)
5. Silver Marches
6. Tome and Blood
7. Epic Level Handbook
8. Manual of the Planes
9. Magic of Faerun
10. The quintesential(sp?) wizard.

My favorites

I'll limit myself to the books I have read for the top ten:

The Last Dance (Atlas Games)
Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting (WotC)
The Wheel of Time Roleplaying Game (WotC)
Player's Handbook (WotC)
Dungeon Master's Guide (WotC)
The Dark Side Sourcebook (WotC)

Of the ones I haven't read, the most promising are Star Wars Revised Rulebook, Call of Cthulhu d20, Epic Level Handbook, Spycraft and Nyambe.

Cheers

Dang - only one mention of Bluffside. The subliminal messages aren't working! :)


I'm like Nifft - I'm not sure I even own 10 D20 books. Here's my list.

PHB/DMG/MM (don't really count)

I should caveat this with the fact that I'm not DM'ing right now, but if I were, this is the order in which the books would be most useful to me -

1. (TG/MEG)Bluffside: City on the Edge - takes ALL the work out of city-based campaigning for me. Let's face it, city-based gaming is HARD - I know. It took about 5-6 writers a year to write this book.

2. (MEG)Urban Blight - Perfect! City-based "side-trek" style encounters that I can plop into my Bluffside campaign. It doesn't get any easier than that.

3. Tie - (MEG)Blight Magic & (Mongoose)Chaos Magic - I've always wanted to tie in an alternative style of magic into an over-arching campaign. I like both of these equally well.

4. (Bastion)Alchemy & Herbalists - The book itself is not laid out real well, and some of the stuff is kind of weird, but I really like some of it, and I could see it adding a lot of flavor to my game.

5. (WoTC)FRCS - Honestly, I doubt I'll ever use anything from this book, but it is quite gorgeous. I can't imagine how much money it cost them to make this book. Tens of thousands of dollars to be sure.

6. (WoTC)MotP - Another great book. I got it on sale for half off, so I had to pick it up. I might never use it, though.


Um, well I'll have to stop there, since that's all the books I own. There are some things that Mystic Eye/Thunderhead Games is working on that I can't wait to get my grubby hands on, which I'm sure will go on my list, but for now that's it.
