What is your favorite d20 book?

[haiiro]

Overall, what is your single favorite d20 book -- and what makes it so good?

(Edit: I added the second half of the question, because the first half isn't as useful on it's own.)

 

[Kryndal Levik]

Couldn't pick just one, but I'd have to say The Book of the Righteous and The Vault of Larin Karr are both right up there...

 

[Darrin Drader]

I would have to say Gary Gygax's Necropolis. It captures so much Egyptian goodness that I can't help but love it.

Other favorites:

Oathbound - the main setting + the expansions.

Airships

Legions of Hell

 

[BronzeDragon]

Lords of Darkness .

 

[Gothmog]

Hmm, tough one...

Book of the Righteous has the most volume of useful info in it for world-building and pantheon creation.

Toolbox is great in play. If you ever wanted a random chart for just about anything you can imagine, check Toolbox.

Adventure: Vault of Larin Karr or Grey Citadel by Necromancer Games.

 

[Teflon Billy]

The Scarred Lands campaign setting.

A close second is their Hollowfaust supplement.

 

[Neo]

Hm tough one

I'd have to say of those I have Races of Faerun rates very high as I love that kind of book. forgotten Realsm Capaign Setting book too because that is how a setting book should be done.

Dragonstar handbook too for providing something totally unique to D20 on the sci fi front before anyone else.

Wheel of Time for bringing some of my favourite novels to life..

T20 for bringing an old favourite to a more accessible system

Revised Star Wars...for well being Star Wars

but If I had to pick a favourite book... i'd have to go with the main 3 core books of 3e, because they were the sparks that gave this construct its life in its latest incarnation, and without which their would have been none of the masses of wondrous choice we now have laid before us all.

For sheer coolness, Spycraft. I have a very hopeful feeling that the Warcraft Campaign Setting may dethrone it very soon though.

monsternomicon. fantastic art and layout, general utility [i mean, come on, who can't use more monsters], great flavor text for each write-up, prestige classes, templates, skills, feats, alternate races. what more could one want in a book. er, besides the IK campaign setting guide that is....

 

[Jürgen Hubert]

The new Forgotten Realms Campaign Set.

It sets new standards for setting books in terms of both quality and quantity of content - a standard that I am trying to reach with Urbis, though I realize I still have far to go (I've only written about 26,000 words for it so far...).
