[QUOTE="white tiger, post: 1522592, member: 5765"] I'm more interested in creating the story and the adventure in my game. I'd rather buy supplements which cut down on my time creating the more mundane stuff (new animals, new monster stats, pick pocket results, etc.) so I can spend more time creating the adventure, suprizes and drama for the characters. With that in mind and giving books for D&D 3.x, these are the books I'd recommend: - Toolbox (Alderac) - TONS of tables that can be used at the spur of the moment for eveything from foods, to plants, to pick pockets results, to random citizens. - Monsters Handbook (FFG) - Great for giving building blocks for monsters. Also great for pointing out areas to exploit and potential weaknesses. - The Complete Book of Eldritch Might(Malhavoc) - LOTS of magic feats, spells, items, PrC's and locals. - In the Saddle - PDF - Alot of information on mounts, taking care of mounts, equipment for them and new mounts. - Everyone Else - PDF - great source for those "common" people need to interact with the PCs. Taxcollector? No problem. Baker? No problem. City Guard? No Prolbmem. - Traps & Treachery I & II - nice. A lot of traps and puzzles. There are a lot of other good books out there that deal with classes (Beyond Monks (PDF)), races (Mythic Races) and cities(A Magical Medieval Society: Western Europe), as well as sci-fi/space opera settings as well. The books above were just the ones that came immediately to mind. [/QUOTE]
