Message: <blockquote data-quote="scourger" data-source="post: 5486181" data-attributes="member: 12328">With the benefit of hindsight, I can answer this question with the knowledge of what is still on my greatly reduced gaming shelf.  The 3.0 PHB, DMG & MM are the base line; because, of course, the question has to be answered in context.  Omega World is my favorite, non-core d20 game product.  It is concise & brilliant in the way it takes the system and makes it work for Gamma World.  We had a lot of fun with it, and I even used it for a one-shot game just a couple of weeks ago.  It still works, and I don't intend to part with my 2 paper copies.  I'm glad I got it on pdf recently, too.  Judge Dredd d20 is another great one, in my opinion.  Again, it takes the base game and expands it to a completely different genre with really few changes.  Although I will probably never play it again, I have held onto it when many, many other books have been resold.  I really liked the adventures, too; and ran two of them.  The latter couple were not as compelling to me, and my group ran out of steam for the game; but I would love to finish them up one of these days.  Ancient Kingdoms: Mesopotamia and The Vault of Larin Karr are the 2 d20 D&D adventures I've kept.  I ran part of the latter and would like to take it up again one of these days.  The former is waiting for the right game to happen, probably my Sons of Conan idea.  I may never do either, but they are there.  I also really enjoyed Dungeon magazine in the d20 era, too.  In fact Omega World and many other fine mini-games were printed on the Polyhedron side for a while.  I used several of the modules and even ran the first few adventures of The Shackled City path.  I doubt I would ever return to those adventures, but I used several maps fro the magazine and other sources last year for a D&D minis skirmish campaign using the Miniatures Handbook, which is another great book that I wish had just a little more robust character options to make it more like the RPG (but I guess that's the point).  There are others to be sure, but those are the current stand-outs.</blockquote>
