It's an excellent book full of ideas.I'd skip Planar Handbook unless you know you will be playing/running a game with a focus on the planes.Skip it. Its about 1/5 usable content (much of which has been reprinted).Draconimicon is excellent.The others are decent, but worthwhile if you like or plan to use the creature type.All skippable, IMODecent, if somewhat subtle. Consider it if you want a more ravenloft or other horror feel.Depends on your monster taste. I'd consider getting at least one or two of these if you plan to GM.Unless you know you want it, skip it.FR campaign book is a good campaign book, but a bit dated. Consider it if you would like to start an FR game (if you only plan to play one, get the 3.5 PG instead.)So, in summary, a good shopping list might be<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">A location book</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Expanded Psioncs Handbook (and possibly Hyperconscious)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Manual of the Planes</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Heroes of Horror</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Draconomicon</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">A monster book.</li> </ol></blockquote>
