[QUOTE="DustTC, post: 523743, member: 8919"] If you're going to stick to WoTC material (which I think is a good idea when you don't own a lot of stuff yet), my recommendations would be: Forgotten Realms stuff: Magic of Faerun (still the best magic book IMO), Lords of Darkness (really helps the newbie DM - like me) General D&D: Masters of the Wild (you'll want to complete your splatbook collection), Manual of the Planes (for the more advanced DM and not completely compatible with FR, but what a great book! will give you a great idea of just how far you can go with 3rd edition D&D) BTW, Song & Silence is the worst WoTC book I've read so far, so you can't go downhill from there ;) (though apparantly the Hero Builder's Guidebook and Enemies and Allies are pretty lame too). In contrast, DoTF and S&F are both rather unimaginative but solid, useful books. T&B I really liked. The FRCS finally is still the ultimate D&D book, haven't seen anything even remotly as good yet (including core books). Even people who hate the FR drool over that book and wish someone would make a similar one for their campaign setting. Just warning you so you don't expect another FRCS when you buy your next book - there simply isn't any other book of that quality out there. [/QUOTE]
