• NOW LIVE! Into the Woods--new character species, eerie monsters, and haunting villains to populate the woodlands of your D&D games.

What books did you use last session?

New game: d20 past western style

Books used: only the d20 modern core book, but it was the first session and mostly getting to know you rp for my PC

Core books
Murchad's Legacy Campaign Setting
Hammer & Helm (some feats)
Draconomicon, or as my players now refer to it - the Book of Dread :) (the first dragon the party ever faced, in years)
 

Last session in my low-magic experiment I used:

3.5 Players Handbook
3.5 Monster Manual
3.5 DMG

Sheesh. Not much. The MM was only for the stats for giant warrior ants. Every other monster the pcs fought was either a bandit or homebrewed (giant piss ants!).

I expect the low-magic setting game I'm currently running will have less books used in general, as one of the key things I'm doing is limiting available options.
 

Andargor's Searcheable HTML SRD
Errant Prophecies House Rules
Hyperconsciousness
Denizens of Avadnu
Lords of Madness
Unearthed Arcana (Death and Dying rules)
Gun Fu (Still haven't completely converted the Panache rules)

Looks like a nice selection, but...

How does Gun Fu fit in there? It sort of sticks out to me.
 

A whimsical update:

The Usual Suspects and Table References:
  • Core Books - Natch
  • Unearthed Arcana - Action point rules
  • Portals & Planes - Portal & River of worlds rules, Tender of Worlds mechanics, Chaos Spawn (man "roll two dice and keep the worst" is a nasty mechanic my players hate.
  • Eldritch Sorcery - A new favorite for druids
  • Seas of Blood - Ship deckplans and combat rules

NPC Prep
Planning for Next Session (and some things I had planned for last session but didn't happen):
  • Hot Pursuit and Hot Pursut: On Foot - Gearing up some chases
  • Advanced Bestiary - A Dread Mohrg assassin
  • Ultimate NPCs - Base stats for said assassin, a few ideas for NPC encounters
  • Temples & Shrines - Planning for a big wedding!
  • Cityworks - Sifting for some useful city details.
 

Oh, dear, so many...

The three base books
Monster Manuals 2 & 3
Expanded Psionics Handbook
Warcraft campaign setting book
Book of Vile Darkness
Weapons of Legacy
Book of Exalted Deeds
Star Wars d20 handbook
Lords of Chaos
Libris Mortis
Pocket Magica

... and a few others that I can't remember...
 

Clearly I don't own enough books! Lol. Last session, I used:

  • The Hypertext SRD
  • Terror in Freeport

I've been putting together my own handbook based on d20 Modern, but made for fantasy gaming. The progress is slow, but once the main document is finished, then I will just need to make a package of Advanced Classes and a small ghazzetteer for any given setting I want to run in.
 


Wow, am I using less these days. . . must be the violent shift toward pdf's and digital campaign management, among other things.

So, last session:

offline SRD
Unearthed Arcana
Frostburn
Torn Asunder
Mercenaries
Bow & Blade
Hammer & Helm
Wildscape (a new and useful acquisition :))
