[QUOTE="Turjan, post: 3026245, member: 3477"] I made a thread about the most popular 3rd party d20/OGL (if compatible with D&D) books some months ago, and this one vanished into Nirvana. It's not the same as "most important", but I may list the final outcome here, anyway ;). Places 5 and 6 and the places 7 to 10 shared the same number of votes, respectively. [list=1] [*][B]Arcana Unearthed/Evolved[/B] - the first really somewhat different alternate PHB [*][B]Tome of Horrors[/B] - lots of classic monsters on the nostalgia trip [*][B]A Magical Medieval Society: Western Europe[/B] - in case you wonder how the Middle Ages really looked like [*][B]Monsternomicon[/B] - the first somewhat different monster book [*][B]Dynasties & Demagogues[/B] - rules for politics in your game [*][B]Advanced Bestiary[/B] - the book of templates [*][B]Grim Tales[/B] - build your own D&D [*][B]Iron Heroes[/B] - who needs Exalted if he plays d20 [*][B]AEG Toolbox[/B] - ideas, ideas, ideas; just don't look too closely at the stats ;) [*][B]City State of the Invincible Overlord[/B] - a great fantasy city with nostalgia factor [/list] Though I don't see all of them in the "most important" category and one or two were just the flavor of the month, it's not a bad selection.
