[QUOTE="scadgrad, post: 416792, member: 766"] [b]tough call...[/b] Here's my list based on quality of writing/editing, artwork & layout & how much it is used in my campaign. 1) [b]Malhavoc [/b] A lot of bang for the buck, nice 'look' & few gaffs or errors. The only product that's sitting on the shelf is Demon God's Fane which I haven't got to run (yet). BoEM I & II are considered "core" in our game. 2) [b]WotC[/b] Overall as good as it gets from a layout & illustration standpoint (though Privateer gets close IMO). Several of the books look nice but rarely get used. Deites & Demigods and Book of Challenges were both a real waste FMC. 3) [b]Necromancer[/b] Good layout & moody illos. Some probs w/ the early releases w/ maps & other things. Lately has gotten better & better. Hard to beat the online support. Tomb of Absythor & Demons & Devils are two of the best values available. 4) [b] AEG[/b] Great ideas & good value in the "One Word" line. The Rokugan line is exceptional. Editing & mechanics could be stronger. 5) [b]Privateer Press[/b] Gorgeous looking material & B&W illos far surpassing most other companies. Great ideas, intriguing campaign world & would perhaps rank higher if we could see more releases. The Monsternomicon may be the best 'Monster book' on the market. Who says you need expensive, full color illos to have a great looking book. More please. [/QUOTE]
