What non-d20 books do you have at your gaming table?

[ForceUser]

Since AD&D second edition is, to me, non-D20, I can mention that I lean heavily upon my copies of the Vikings and Celts Historical Reference splatbooks--these things are absolutely kickass references for quasi-historical gaming. I also use several of my English literature textbooks; A Song for Arbonne, a Guy Gavriel Kay novel; the Harry Potter books; and a smattering of other novels, most notably The Coldfire Trilogy by C. S. Freidman.

A ton. I've used stuff from HM, C&C, and even Earthdawn in the games. Lots of old AD&D stuff too.

[MonsterMash]

I'll use a lot of non D20 stuff for the campaign, but the only ones that get used at the table have been the Wilderlands of High Fantasy and City State of the Invincible Overlord(Judges Guild).

For campaign design I'll use a lot of wargaming books as well as RPG stuff.

i don't have any d02 at my table when i game.

when i playtest in another game (the story hour in my sig) i have a few d02 books. but my hat of them knows no limits.

 

[HeapThaumaturgist]

When I'm running D&D, I actually have NO books at the table. For rules questions I consult the SRD and for spell effects I consult DMGenie.

When I'm running d20 Modern I usually have the Dark*Matter books nearby. Because Dark*Matter is sweet. Sweeter than candy. ... Stolen from children.

Two collections of Brom's artwork (Darkwerks one of 'em's called, and the other one is, uh, I forget the title). I use the images for monster references: "You see THIS!" {shows page 27}

My players hate those books.

Which means I'm doing my job!

Any book for Eden's Buffy or Angel games.

 

[eris404]

My game is set in London, so I keep a guidebook published by Lonely Planet nearby in case I need to find a place or street name very quickly. It's not accurate for the time period, but I don't worry about that too much.

 

[kenobi65]

For D&D games, none. I run two FR campaigns, as well as a homebrew, and I probably use 90+% WotC books, 10% OGL d20 stuff.

My other campaign is Star Wars; I'll occasionally use a non-RPG SW book for reference, but that's about it.
