We've seen a fair amount of thread necromancy lately, but this is one of the more interesting ones!

I have no idea how I would have answered back in March, and the question still isn't all that easy. However, since the rules are 5 beyond the core books:

Unearthed Arcana
From Stone to Steel
Advanced Bestiary
Beastbuilder
Wilderlands Boxed Set

Now, if I could have five more, I'd add

Grim Tales
Complete Arcane
Complete Adventurer
Complete Divine
Complete Warrior

AGMG

I can't decipher this.

 

[Maggan]

I can't decipher this.

Advanced Gamemaster Guide, perhaps?

My choices after the core rulebooks:
Wilderlands Boxed Set (yeah I am biased ... years of material there)
CSIO (okay, really biased)
ToH

Probably some books with tables 'n such. Mother of all Encounter Tables and/or Toolbox.

Pretty much all I'd need.

So, what are your top 5 D&D books or supplements? If you were stranded on an island in the middle of nowhere and you had only dice, paper and the core books, what other 5 D&D books would you take with you, bearing in mind that you might be stuck there forever. Here's my list. I chose the monster books for added variety, the World's Largest Dungeon because it would probably take forever to play through it, and Unearthed Arcana for a variety of new play options.

• Monster Manual II
• Monster Manual III
• World's Largest Dungeon
• Unearthed Arcana
• Advanced Bestiary

Hmmm just 5 books you say... tricky but I think I'd go with:

1. Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting
2. Draconomicon
3. Spycraft 2.0
4. Lost Empires of Faerun
5. Players Guide to Faerun

Yup my players (if I had any) would have a choice of the Forgotten Realms or James Bond meets GI Joe for the rest of time. I know I'd die happy.

If I could somehow, maybe, possibly sneak a 6th book onto the island it would be Monster Manual III (love that book!).

 

[Crothian]

Advanced Gamemaster Guide, perhaps?

Strictly speaking, this is correct. But I would add to the RC the following:

Gaz 1 "The Grand Duchy of Karameikos"
B1-9 "In Search of Adventure"
B10 "Night's Dark Terror"
X1 "Isle of Dread"

Good call, wait...I just agreed with Akrasia! *BOOM*
