What is your favorite RPG book of all time?

3E Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting book.

I'm not even a Realms fan but that book is so well done and so densely packed with info that it's one of the only 3x era WOTC books I kept after I got rid of the bulk of my other 3x stuff.

I guess if I was pressed, it'd be the Hero System 4th Edition hardcover (aka the Big Blue Book).

A little Prime would be needed, I think, to finalize the pattern.

I don't want to derail the thread any further than necessary.

To try and get back on track, if Mage was my favorite book ever, then Werewolf would probably be a close second.

Big Blue was Champions:

the non-Champions HSR4 core was this:

And about half the thickness.

Nostalgia intensifying...

The way things are looking so far? It will probably be Stonetop.

1e DMG

My runner-up. I Still use it more than any other DMG despite not having run 1E since 1989.

The oldest DnD book I still have on my shelf because nothing has ever even come close to replacing it.

Gotta get your chainmail bikini from somewhere!

Hard question.

Burning Wheel Adventure Burner has had big impact on my GMing.

I've had a lot of play out of various Greyhawks, starting with the Gazetteer.

Most favorite? Not sure, but it’s definitely one of my favorites: the Rules Compendium for 4e. It’s a well-organized and easy to read book of rules. I read it cover to cover.
