What books did you use last session?

While finishing up the opening adventure for my new campaign, I used...

The PHB (very briefly)
My HTML version of the SRD
UA


I only used UA because a new person joined the group, and had to make a character, which prompted checking the Defense Bonus chart. The only material I really used were my 'notes' (more like a rough draft of a pre-made adventure) for the adventure itself (room descriptions, treasure, things NPCs said, etc.). Since the group is level 1, I don't think we'll be needing the DMG for a while (you know, since I've read through the chapters about DMing a few times now, and I won't be 'handing' out any unusual magical loot for a a few sessions yet).

Tonight's halfling game:

3.5 Core Rules
Monster Manual II (used a grell)
Expanded Psi HB (one pc is a psion)
1st edition Fiend Folio (for the full page grell picture)

I also pulled out my old 2ed Spellbinder of house spells for a spell I hadn't previously converted to 3e.
 


I used...

PHB
UA (Love those Battle Sorcerors!)
DMG
Complete Warrior
MM1

Oops! Living Greyhawk Gazeteer! Sorry bout that!

Last session was the showdown of If Thougths Could kill, so I used:

- 3.5 PHB
- 3.5 DMG
- 3.5 MM
- If Thought Could Kill (doh!)
- PsiHB (haven't read the XPH enough to use 3.5 Psi as it came when I already started ITCK)
- XPH (for one psionic monster)
- DotF (for a Hunter of the Dead PC)
- Mindscapes (for a Master of the Pattern PC and Psicombat)

Other Things used in my campaign are various spells and feats from other sources (but the players just keep copies of the descriptions with their character sheets)
 

last night's epic game

Hi,

Used a lot less books than usual, meaning I carried far more books to the game than I needed, nearly doing my back in in the process :\

3.5 core rules
Epic level handbook -- used a hunefer
Mongoose Pocket Player's Handbook
Book of Exalted Deeds -- one PC levelled up and took a feat and a PrC


Cheers


Richard
 

Core books, AU, Creature Collection Revised, Monster Manual II, Complete Book of Eldritch Might, and I ripped a couple of classed goblin stat blocks out of Vault of Larin Karr rather than make them up myself.
 

Core books 3.0 (PHB DMG MM)
Monstrous Manual 2
Arms & Equipment Guide
3.5 SRD
Psionic Handbook 3.0

- 3.5 Player's Handbook
- 3.5 Monstrous Manual
- 3.5 DMG
- Fiend Folio
- Monstrous Manual II
