What is the best d20 book no one talks about?

[JVisgaitis]

Oh, it's one of yours. And I thank you so very much. [Reflecting on it, I guess my comment about color was the result of a drugged mind.]

Oh, ok. It was the color comment that threw me. Glad you are enjoying it.

Dynasties & Demagogues by Atlas Games- this is an incredible resource for political games, and something often overlooked in D&D.

Crime & Punisment by Atlas Games- what Dynasties and Demagogues is for politics, Crime & Punishment is for law, law enforcement, and legal codes (both secular and religious).

Word to your mother.

And Kanegrundar mentioned:

Chaositech (Malhavoc): Pure evil, ingenious fun

Darwin's World 2 (RPGObjects): Hands down the best post-apocalyptic game on the market right now, and one of the best D20 Modern-based books going as well.
.....and I'm totally down with what he was pimpin'.

Great minds think alike, Wraith Form!

Yeah, Denizens of Avadnu is PACKED with color. It's also nicely-bound and the production values are on the same level (or even better than) what you see with WoTC books. Definitely a keeper that few people have talked about.

Testament (which is the best book on the thread so far)

True.

I've seen the topic come up from time to time on various boards, but few replies and a lot of views.

With their other books-Egyptian Adventures and Trojan War...and their Roman Empire book due out later this year, Green Ronin is doing the 'Classical World' right.

I am using it all in my "Modern Campaign'...

The Power Gamer's 3.5 Warrior Strategy Guide by Goodman Games. I don't think folks talk about this one because they do not want to admit they could get some great combat advice from a book or don't want to appear to be a munchkin. I suppose you could honestly not like the book, but it's full of some decent analysis of the core rules.

I got this one recently and I think it's a little gem.

Any of the first four Ravenloft Gazetteers. It's an awkward setting to write for, considering the reams of pre-existing material and convoluted (and sometimes contradictory) metaplot, but these books are the best, most atmospheric and well fleshed-out campaign material out there.

The fifth is pretty good as well, but some of the editing choices were marginal and I think the divisions between the developers and the writers were beginning to show, unfortunately.

We have a lot of really good books presented here, now it is time for some people to take it to the next step and write reviews on them.

Personally I think the best d20 book never talked about is..... ah, nevermind.
