[QUOTE="Tyler Do'Urden, post: 2143176, member: 4601"] Deities and Demigods- I now agree, not a very useful book, even though it has flown around my gaming table quite a bit in one campaign where the DM used the Norse pantheon. Still, a list of domains for each deity and a copy of Bullfinch's would have done just as well. ELH- I like the monsters, and having levels scaling for above 20th is nice. Have I ever used it in a game that's lasted more than one session before being scrapped? Nope. Enchanted Locations- The most worthless 3e book I'd ever purchased. Not useful at all. Typical FFE. FFG's Way of... series- I loved these. My players didn't, and insisted on using WotC's cruddy splatbooks instead. I conceded. Though now that WotC has released much better splatbooks that follow the exact same pattern as FFG's (which they should have made in the first place!), they're basically obsolete. Manual of the Planes- never really had a chance to use it, as I used my own cosmology, and nobody wanted to do planescape. Creature Collection I- I liked the monsters, even if they were messed up and poorly edited. But I'd use the revised version instead of the initial one. Arcana Unearthed- Loved it. Never used it. Sold it. I'll buy Arcana Evolved and use it to run a campaign this summer, with a new group. Star Wars: Dark Side Handbook: Most of the worthwhile material was in the Revised Core Rules- otherwise it was pretty much a beastiary of dead Sith Lords. About as useful as Deities and Demigods...
