D&D 5E What are your most well used Products?

[Nagol]

For multiple decades? That would be AD&D core set (especially the DMG), Aftermath, Champions 3rd edition (and the associated little games Danger International and Justice, Inc.), Ars Magica 2nd and 3rd edition core rulebooks plus specific splatbooks (Covenants, Faeries, Mythic Places), and Whimsy Cards.

The two that really stand out are the AD&D DMG which is a terrific resource for a whole ton of things across ruleset and genre and Whimsy Cards which I've used to inject extra player agency into a whole bunch of games.

For me it is adventures that get used the most (outside of core books). I love having the smaller module adventures to throw in a campaign whenever I need it. The maps on the back of the covers or the fold out maps of 4e are also great.

I have several Pathfinder APs and the three 5e ones, but I haven't used any of them yet.

As a DM, battlemaps (Paizo paper foldout maps), miniatures, and 4E offline tools (character builder, monster builder) and 4E DDI were the most useful. That would be backed up by any book in PDF form. As a player, all I needed was the appropriate PHB and options supplements (feats, spells, maneuvers, powers). But those were also preferred in PDF format.

5E has room for progress for the above. Basically any book or tool in electronic format is a big win.

I've been playing for 25 years, and during this time I've always used:
- the original dice I found in the D&D black box starter set
- Forgotten Realms Adventures
- The Rock of Bral and Planescape (as goldomark said, and for the same reasons)
- Dungeon issues from the Ad&d 2nd edition era, which I've adapted to every other edition

Dungeon tiles, miniatures, and perhaps miniatures of furniture. Those are the sort of stuff that I use all the time, regardless of edition.

Decades of use:

- Several 1e adventures - especially G/D/Q series and ToEE
- 1e DMG (mostly the tables - new DMG has finally replaced it)
- Several issues of Dragon and Dungeon Magazines (too many to list)
- Painted miniatures
- Dice
- A few boxed sets (Menzo/AlQadim/Planescape/Spelljammer)

Odd ball add on rules are the ones I use the most across the editions...

chronomancers handbook, necromancer handbook, and villain handbook from 2e
Book of vile darkness, Book of erotic fantasy (yes really), book of 9 swords, and Incarnum book 3e
Feywild and shadow books from 4e

One of my friends uses the volo's guide to all things magical

My most used products;

●1e: DMG,PHB, UA, Dieties & Demi-Gods, MM, MM2, FF, & DM/Players screens.
Granted, I regularly play 1e. But these books sans the phb/UA get used ALOT regardless of what edition I'm running.

●The core rulebooks for whatever edition I'm playing/running.

●3.5 DMG 2 - I get alot of use out of the Saltmarsh city chapter.

●Numerous adventure modules from Basic, Expert, & 1e, some from various 3pp, some from PF (individual chapters from thier APs, not the entire AP), the Ravenloft modules from 2e (hate the setting & never use it, but the modules make great stand alone adventures!)
Note: Individual adventures. NOT entire 1-15 campaigns!
●Several issues of Dragon & Dungeon Magazines

●The original World of Greyhawk boxed set, the original FR grey box set. World maps for these two settings, originals or newer versions.
●The Van Richton guides from 2e
●matures - all companies....
●my Chessex battle mat
●my model of Weathertop by Forge World - it makes an apearance in every campaign I DM.
●Paizos critical hit/miss decks
●The Deck of Many Things - physical deck by Green Rinin

●My original set of dice that came in my Basic set. This Christmas they'll have been serving me for 35 years!
(Alot of people had dice from this era that're "soft", resulting in chipped/rounded off corners. And indeed I got those in my Expert set. But my Basic set dice? They're different. They're this eggshell grey & hard as rocks. All this time, continuous use, & no chipping.)

●The red/black messenger bag I got at GenCon #? (In Indianapolis, has a dancing jester, but no year on the patch)
It's been in use since the day I bought it. It's proven as durable as my 1e books.

●Various maps from modules etc long gone. If I found a cool map I copied it & put it in a binder. Much easier nowdays.

Decades? Hmmm....

Rules Cyclopedia - I keep going back to the D&D Rules Cyclopedia out of nostalgia and running a session or two here and there.

Council of Wyrms boxed set and Dragonstar (Starfarer's Handbook and Guide to the Galaxy) - These have been the foundation for the campaign setting I have been working on for the last decade or so and saw a fair amount of use before that as well.

The Sunless Citadel - This is my go-to 1st level adventure, regardless of edition. I've run it nearly a dozen times in various mediums.

World Builder's Guidebook - Though I haven't used it as much recently, this 2nd Edition gem used to be a constant companion for inspiration and just random table rolling when I was bored.
