Home Game (last Sunday) 3.5 PHB, DMG, MM, Unearthed Arcana, FRCS, Magic of Faerun, Races of Faerun, Player's Guide to Faerun, Book of Eldritch Might I and II, Silver Marches, Return to the Keep on the Borderlands.
Obviously, an FR game, set in the Silver Marches, currently playing a converted and heavily modified RttKotB.
Living Greyhawk game (last Wednesday) 3.5 PHB.
If I was DMing, I'd probably have used the other 2 core books.
MnM PbP (a couple hours ago) nothing.
Didn't need to use a book for my last post.

First Post
D20 Modern Core Book: For levelling up characters, looking up feats, general schtuff...
Blood and Vigilance: The game we were playing. Looking up specific power questions, stuff like that.
Blood and Guts: One of the villains was a mercenary. I used this for a feat, and general military equipment.
Blood and Fists: Feats, and Martial Arts styles.
Blood and Fists 2 document: The "main" villain was a Ninja. Needed that class information.
Technically... we used Modern Backdrops: All four PCs live in one of the cities in Backdrops, which I have placed just outside Syndicate City... a suburb, if you will. But I didn't necessarily need the book in front of me for that... So that one's a bit iffy....

We used no books in our D&D 3.5 game tonight, unless you count the folder of compiled house rules, and even then it was only so I (the DM) could reference our own radically different XP rules. No combat...just 5 hours of roleplaying. Kinda nice for a change.

We used d20 Modern, 22 Talent Trees, Modern Player's Companion I and II and a draft of the upcoming 1948 Campaign Guide.

Let's see. Last session (5/11/2004), I used (even briefly) the following:
- D&D Gazetteer
- Living Greyhawk Gazetteer
- The Created (Ravenloft Adventure)
- "Dungeon Builder's Guidebook" (2e sup) (Used the cover to "hide" * the above mentioned adventure, so that they were unaware of what would happen ;-) )
- PHB, DMG, MM (both 3.0 and 3.5 (or to be quite brutally honest 3.0 and 4.0![:]](http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png "Devious :]")
**)
- Unearthed Arcana
Recently I've used HarnMaster (to inspire some possible "adventure" ideas), though I hope in the near future to switch over to HM and drop D&D completly.
* One player has been begging to have his character drawn into Ravenloft. I can only presume he is a Sado-Masochist. As there has been too much that has been bothering be with D&D (after seeing "the light" from HarnMaster), I'm looking to wrap up this current game, but I'm going to try to enjoy the last few sessions. Hopefully I'll be able to lead the Half-Elf Rogue down the path of darkness within a span of 4 sessions, ending with the character killing the Druid's animal companion as his test to become an Assassin, the Druid killing the Rogue in Revenge, and lots of fireworks even bigger than any Canada Day or Independance day festivities you have ever seen.
The player of the Rogue wants to become an Assassin, but that doesn't mean I'll make it easy for him.
** Let's face it, it is very generous to call 3.5 a revision rather than a new edition. There may not have been any overall radical changes, but there is enough difference that you can never be too sure what hasn't changed, from that which had. Can you describe all of 3.5's changes in a page ? 2 pages ? 10 pages ? Not likely. Many of the changes are so subtle that to maintain balance, you either need to decide on using 3.0 or 3.5 as your primary reference and then add in houserules (importing those items that fit better with your game). Combat runs differently in 3.0 than in 3.5 (AoO's are generated for more situations... one example being standing up from prone). Magic is another situation (the Buff spells now last rounds, rather than hours).
The fact that you generally need to identify whether you use 3.0 or 3.5 in rules discussions only goes to show that the differences between 3.0 and 3.5 are much larger than they seem. To contrast this, HarnMaster went from a 2nd edition to 3rd, yet the "What's New" (describing the changes from 2 to 3) fits only one side of a single page.
Of course, this is not the thread to discuss 3.0 vs 3.5

On my last session, Thursday 13 May, I used:
D&D 3.5 Core Books
Serpent Citadel (from S&S/WW) from where I have stolen most of the current adventure
But it was a short and rules light session.
