Book of Fiends is just excellent. I think it will be the top book on demons devils for a very long time.
Two lesser talked about books that are a bit older that I really like are Touched by the Gods and Occult Lore. These have great ideas in them for organizations nad just adding a bit of a different feel to a few NPCs.

For 3rd party support, I have to put in a vote for Midnight and Dawnforge and the Path series of books from FFG (and Citycraft, that book rocks). From GR, definately Mutants and Masterminds, and from S&SS, Warcraft campaign setting.
And don't forget Arcana Unearthed from Monte Cook, that book is really good also, and changes d20 fantasy into a more fantastical feel (it does to me...playing the same races and classes for ten years gets boring after a while).

Thank you. I've considered writing Another 101 Spellbooks but can't decide if it would just be too many books for DMs and players to use in their games. Opinions?
Dungeon Magazine
For me, the single best D&D supplement is Dungeon Magazine. It has been for about 10 years, through 3 editions. Do yourself a favor, pick up a copy. Then get a subscription. Then get some back issues. Some have great mini games like Omega World and V for Victory. Then pick out a campaign if adventures to run from its pages.
Skull & Bones is a great resource if you want to run any kind of pirate or nautical game. The publisher, Green Ronin, has some nice downloads on the website.
Otherwise, I really like D&D-based alternate games like Judge Dredd, DragonStar, & the Horizons mini games. But, that gets away from fantasy.

I've bought a number of your PDFs. All I can say here is "give me more!"philreed said:
Edit: Actually, I can say one more thing. While I liked the sprinkling of new feats, etc, in the first 101 Spellbooks, can I suggest putting such things in sidebars rather than in-line with the text? I know that they're on the table of contents, but that's the kind of thing it'd be nice to have set apart from the rest, especially when I go back to it to check something I know I saw before.

Though it sounds like you've got Phil's PDF, you might enjoy the print version The Book of Unusual Treasures, compiled and published by Bad Axe Games in cooperation with Ronin Arts. We moved all of the "in line" stuff-- Feats, Skills, Poisons, Spells, and so forth-- to their own appendices in the back of the book.
You can see (and order) the book on our website:
