[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6767398, member: 37579"] Decades? That'd be 1995 onward. Not many as I likely got into D&D close to that year. Well... maybe '93. Maybe the Ravenloft Red Box and [I]Monstrous Manual[/I]. [I]Complete Book of Humanoids[/I] for a 5e monstrous race blog I did. I certainly reference my 1e [I]Manual of the Planes[/I] and [I]Deities and Demigods[/I] quite a bit, but I think I had them for less than 20 years. A single decade is 2005 to now. I've certainly used my 3.0 [I]Forgotten Realms[/I] campaign setting book, a few licensed Ravenloft and Dragonlance books from that era. I've brainstormed using a few Prestige Classes or spells from 3.5 books. The 3e [I]Manual of the Planes[/I] and [I]Deities and Demigods[/I] get some love and attention. But, for the most part, the books I have from that era are splatbooks that have little value now. This is really the catch. I've broken out an early 2e Ravenloft book for a campaign I was running to use as a reference, as that book was still valid 25 years later. But [I]Complete Warrior[/I] isn't, and neither is [I]Martial Power[/I]. And I can see much of [I]Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide[/I] being useful in 10 years if I run a Realms campaign. [/QUOTE]
