What books did you use last session?

Last thursday I used nothing but the PHB and my own notes. But the last two sessions have been fairly atypical.

Next session will be very different, but I won't go through the list as oneof my players has just started posting here (Hiya Duck!).

For last night/this morning's game, we used:

D20 Modern Core book: Because it's a D20 Modern based Supers Game, and we needed to create a new character for my nephew's first D20 gaming experience (woot! Got to break in a D20 Newbie!)
Blood and Vigilance: This was the system we played. Super Heroes for D20 Modern. It really works like a charm, for us.
Blood and Fists: For the Ninjutsu martial arts style, and a few feats.
Blood and Fists II (playtest doc): For the Ninja advanced class for the villain.
Modern Backdrops: For a city, and maps.
My new powers document I created for Blood and Vigilance: For the Toxic Biology, Martial Superiority, and a power stunt for Martial Superiority. All for the villain.
Urban Arcana: For a feat.
Modern Player's Companion: For the equipment packages, and a feat.
Blood and Guts: Modern Military: For a feat, and a villain that didn't make it into the game, but will in a future session.

Edit:
King of Fighters 2000: It's where I got the idea for the villain, Lin.

I think it is interesting to see not just what some people are using, but what they are using it for. To that end:

  • Core books, d20 Modern, Second World Sourcebook - For the basis for the campaign, use for lots of things. Challenges, chargen, organizations, etc.
  • Expanded Psionics Handbook - Tinkered with some NPCs for upcoming games, and loaned to a player to update his psychic warrior.
  • Draconomicon - Last session, I had a case of the players following world lore as a plot hook instead of the real plot. This turned into a quick dragon-hunting expedition. Thank goodness for the pre-made dragons! (Note: metabreath feats are fun. The party got hit with clinging breath and almost lost a member.)
  • Shaman's Handbook - Made two Shaman NPCs for one of the tribes in Second World North America.
  • Creature Collection Revised - One of the above shamans was a hag...
  • Creature Collection II - The party ran afoul a blade beast and a serpent golem in service of the hag.
  • Unearthed Arcana, Urban Arcana - A PC I am planning for a future campaign was an Infinite Serpent (an organization I extracted from Urban Arcana). Instead of the stats for snakeblooded, I used the Yuan-Ti blood progression from Unearthed Arcana. (We also use Action Points, but really didn't need to refer to the book.)
  • Arsenal - Some players resorted to some technomagic weapons they picked up in the dragon fight.
  • Factory - Looked up a few details about the robot PC and healing.
  • Masters of Arms - Looked up some details about improvised weapons.
 

Well, I wasn't running last session (a rare experience!), but here's the books that were used:

D&D Core Books 3.5E - the rules of the game. :)
Unearthed Arcana - this is a swashbuckling game, set in a more renaissance style era; we're using Reputation, Contact, Defense Bonus, and Action Point rules, as well as the Urban Ranger variant for one of the PCs.
Complete Warrior - Guess what? I'm playing a CW Swashbuckler. (Love those skill points!)
Miniatures Handbook - There's also a Favoured Soul in the group, who uses the Sudden Still and Sudden Silent feats. (Magic is outlawed by the Priests of Pholtus - nasty fellows, they!)

Next session, it's back to the regular Greyhawk game... and a few surprises for my PCs!

Cheers!
