[QUOTE="PowerWordDumb, post: 1318257, member: 8614"] My listing: Psionics Handbook: I hated psionics in every other edition, why did I think that would change? I'd hoped for new mechanics that might 'hook' me, but ugh. Oriental Adventures: Ditto ditto ditto. Hated it. Deities and Demigods: Stupid book. With no cross-pollenation with ELH (and I understand the rationale, but disagree with it), it's not much more than a monster book on steroids. FR's deities book did a much better job of this despite being incomplete. Epic Level Handbook: It was so *not* what I was looking for. I liked the concept, but the execution was terrible. Wizards' Splatbooks: These ranged from poor to just plain limp. They had the benefit of being early, because they'd sure not sell today. My Kalamar books: I've read and re-read them, and I still don't get it. Very nice, but... bland. My Forgotten Realms books: A very expensive collection I'll never use - I just got them to mine them for ideas. Dragonstar: Again with the "i'll never play that, but let's have a look" impulse purchases... And now, the heresy of all heresies, Arcana Unearthed: Got it to read something different, decided that degree of different wasn't for me. Can't remotely identify with anything in there. My problem seems to be I'll buy many different things in the hopes of expanding my horizons, but fundamentally - I like D&D the way it always has been. I'm not Diaglo mind you, but I am a traditionalist. [/QUOTE]
