[QUOTE="amethal, post: 2169568, member: 22784"] I enjoyed reading Savage Species, Manual of the Planes and Deities & Demigods. They haven't been much use in my campaign (ok, they have been no use whatsoever) but they gave me things to think about. I also like the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, but only as a guide as to what my own campaign setting book ought to include. It also didn't cost me anything (my brother bought it) so I can't complain. I've used some of the domains, so it has been some use in my homebrew. Most regretted purchases were all from Fast Forward. The Green Races campaign setting, Monstrous Fighter and Monstrous Wizard were full of errors. I don't know what possessed them to put black text on a grey background, either. I paid nothing like full price for them, and still regretted it. I feel guilty for selling them to some poor sod on eBay, but maybe he'll have a higher opinion than I did. Their Villains book, Demons & Devils II and Rings of Power were better, but still not worth the shelf space they were taking up. I quite like Cloud Warriors, Treasure Quests and Dungeon World Catacombs, but by that stage I had very low expectations of FF (which was reflected in the price I paid). The $5 book referred to by an earlier poster is the Mastercraft Anthology from the Legends and Lairs series. Its bits of their first 10 books, and I'm amazed there wasn't something in it of use. Personally, I liked the "fighters spending XP to gain special combat routines" bit, which I think is also in various Legend of the 5 Rings books. [/QUOTE]
