[QUOTE="Acmite, post: 417020, member: 183"] 1. Green Ronin: Shaman's Handbook is excellent. The Grimoires' are handy. The Witch's Handbook is already pre-ordered. From what I've heard/seen (reviews, etc) some of their other supplements have been hit or miss (Assassins, frex). 2. Fiery Dragon: Great adventures, excellent pimping. I just wished these guys were more prolific. I'll be picking up some counters in the next couple weeks (whenever they come in). 3. Malhavoc: BoEM 1 and 2 are great. Looking forward to BoHM. Didn't pick up the Banewarrens, or Demon's God Fane (or whatever it's called). 4. WotC: I'm not sure why Wizards is 4th on my Top 5. They should probably be near the top, but I see this is as a list of my favorite companies, not the ones I have the most of. Most of the Wizards stuff I have I saw as a pseudo-necessity (Splatbooks in particular). The FRCS and Magic of Faerun are excellent, Song and Silence is crap on a stick. MotW is very good, and so is Tome and Blood, but I think Defenders of the Faith has quite a bit of useless material (a typical LG temple? huh?). 5. Sword and Sorcery (And Necromancer): I like the Scarred Lands (I have the Campaign Setting), and I'm really looking forward to the Tome of Horrors. It's already pre-ordered. Least favorite: So far, just Mongoose. I have yet to find a single supplement they have put out that interests me, despite their crazy large amount of releases. Is that their failing? Maybe. It might also just be me. I'm also not fond of the coincidences in planned supplements between Mongoose and some of their competitors (Witch, Shaman, etc). I'm not trying to cast aspersions here, though, since I'm hardly privy to the whole situation. Notes: I'm going to pick up Bad Axe's Dwarves book (hopefully today if it's in!) based on recommendations from board members. I'm not normally a dwarf fan, but hopefully this will help me overcome my "limitations". :D [/QUOTE]
