[QUOTE="Zaukrie, post: 4538699, member: 2057"] But Chris, if you'd have cancelled the Advanced line, you'd just be a cold, heartless company exec, and not a true gamer anymore! Don't you read the boards? Book of the Righteous is the best written RP book I've ever read. Not even close. If more cosmologies and rules were written like this we'd all be better off. Tome of Horrors and Creature Collection - for their place in line and encouraging others to get into the market Arcana....from Monte Cook - for the best alternate PHB ever. It broke the mold of what "D&D is" by changing things enough so the rules and fluff were unique and integrated, yet still recognizable as "the same game". It paved the way for other similar experiments. I love this game, just never found anyone to play it. Ptolus should be on the list, but I don't know if it changed the market or not (doesn't look that way). I argued with Monte about its lack of follow up products, and he convinced me it had them in the book. This is truly a creation of love for its developers. I wish all books were like this. Monsternomicon - again, a should be. It has the best fluff, art, and creative monsters of most any book. This was the height (to me) of monster books that were innovative and where the fluff was so good you could just sit down and read the book. (interestingly, though, I find I play with the 4E books more, so WotC may have made the right choice) Crucible of Freya - not the best adventure, but it was one of the first, and it really showed what could be done for 3PP (at least that is how it looks from the outside). Other books I love: The fiend books from Green Ronin are awesome....oops, late for a meeting! [/QUOTE]
