[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 1378844, member: 13703"] Hi everybody. My birthday is coming up and I am looking at getting a couple of books. I'm just having a little trouble deciding what to get. I'm not playing in a D&D game at the moment (little bit busy with working full-time, studying, playing sport as well as just getting engaged :D ) but I plan to once I have cleared some space on my calender. Since I just got engaged this is the last time for a while that I will be spending money on some books before going into super saving mode. There are a few books that I'm looking at buying and I just wanted everyones' opinion on what they think I should get. When I do get some free time I plan to DM a homebrew game. With that in mind what books do you think would be a good purchase? I just ordered both Magical Medieval Society books from XRP so both of them are out. I was thinking about the "Book of the Righteous" but I was wondering how campaign specific this book is. What I'm really looking for is a book to help me design my own gods, pantheon, etc., Is this the book I'm after then or does it just give me a lot of details about the Green Ronin campaign setting? Is there another book that would suit my needs better in this regard? The other things that I was looking at are "Experts" and "Counter Collections" 1 and 2. Does anyone have any thoughts about these products. Are they good/bad/okay? I have read all the reviews about these books but I am still to make up my mind about them. The one other book that I was considering was by Grey Ghost Press, "Game Mastering Secrets, 2nd Edition". I haven't really DM'ed much before and I thought it my have some good advice to help me out. Has anyone else out there heard of or used this book before? What were your thoughts on it? Any opinions good or bad would be appreciated. Apart from the books that I have listed above, does anyone know of any other books that they think I may be overlooking that are well worth the money? Thanks in advance, Olaf the Stout Edited for stupid spelling mistakes :D [/QUOTE]
