Ohh...  This one is neat too, use it too!"  A great moment!5.  Malhavoc Press - The BoEM books are great, the alt Ranger is great, and Monte gets the nod for best "something for everybody" cool module for 3E- The Banewarrens.  I can't wait to run this with my mixed hack-and-slash, role-playing problem solving group.6.  MEG/ Ambient -  Just added these guys recently.  Just plain good stuff.  FL:Urban Blight I have already raved about.  The Librum Equitis books are the best prestige class books I have found.  They also support Campaign Suite (see below).7. AEG - Their Adventure Keep modules have saved me more than once, but their 'single word' books keep on giving.  I have five of these things and they never let  me down.  Great books for providing in-depth looks at topics for inclusion in my game.8.  Twin Rose Software - I gotta go a different direction here.  Their Campaign Suite software saves me more time and redundant effor than I care to imagine.  A great product with helpful polite support.  So, there you have it.  My d20 life in a nutshell.</blockquote>
