[QUOTE="Trickstergod, post: 1318026, member: 10825"] Being broke as I often am, I'm not quite the prolific product purchaser as some people here are. Still, I seem to have accumulated a decent chunk of stuff over the years. Of my collection, there's really only two books I have that I really could do without, and that would be Champions of Darkness (for Ravenloft), and the Faithful and the Forsaken (Scarred Lands). Both are just abysmal, both mechanically and with writing quality. I knew Champions of Darkness would be bad before I got it, but it had some information on the settings Carnival which I thought I might get some use out of. I didn't. The information on Carnival was minimal stuff that I could have rattled off without needing any book on hand to know. As for the Faithful and the Forsaken, half of it is about the forsaken elves, who play strongly into why I'm into the Scarred Lands. The books treatment of them is complete schlock. While I do have both Relics and Rituals (one of which I received as an author's copy, anyway, so it's not like I put any money into in the first place), as well as the Creature Collection, and fully acknowledge that, from a mechanical viewpoint, they're positively awful at times, the actual ideas, writing, concepts, etc, are all quite good in my opinion. They catch my interest and give me ideas, even if I feel I can't just plunk down their spells or monsters into a campaign without a thorough look over. So I don't really regret having any of them, even if they fail nearly utterly in doing what they should do (which is to offer up usable spells and monsters). Now, there are a few books I have that, if given the choice, I might not buy and instead opt for something of better quality, but I still get use out of and don't mind owning in the first place.
