[QUOTE="Lancelot, post: 5435210, member: 30022"] From my perspective... [LIST] [*][B]MM3 [/B]and [B]Monster Vault[/B] are two of the best "monster manuals" I've bought for [B]any[/B] edition, period. [*][B]Dark Sun Campaign Setting[/B] and[B] Creature Catalogue[/B] were fantastic. They had me hooked on a setting in which I had no previous interest. [*]The entire concept of [B]Essentials [/B](simplified characters, deadlier monsters, faster gameplay) has been excellent. It has helped mitigate one of the few weaknesses of 4e for my group (long combat). [*]The most recent DDM set ([B]Lords of Madness[/B]) was one of the best. [*][B]Gamma World[/B] is terrific. Great flavor, great gameplay. [*]Honorable Mention to: Vor Rukoth, Underdark, the various "Planar" hardbacks, the Three Dragon Ante expansion pack, Castle Ravenloft. [/LIST] A previous poster said it best... WotC has been coming through for me and my group where it counts: at the table. Yes, their marketing and PR could be better. Yes, I've found some of the bugs and shortcomings in Character Builder to be frustrating. But most of their actual products over the last 12-18 months have been amongst their best output in any edition. Having said that, D&D Experience (i.e. the tradeshow) can't come soon enough. I couldn't care less about the three (bland, boring) books that they cancelled, but I'd like to hear that there are some new and exciting things coming out later in the year to make up for them.
