[QUOTE="Ibrandul, post: 8210638, member: 6871736"] So, when I glanced at the thread title, I mistook "any" for "every," and that still seems like a more fun list, so I'm making it. You'll notice a theme. pre-2e Best: [I]Waterdeep and the North[/I] — Incredibly imaginative, it feels like this book plus the grey box constitute the real start of the 2e era Worst: N/A — This is the only category I can't fill, because I only have a few pre-2e books and they all rock 2e Best: [I]Faiths and Avatars[/I] — Nearly overwhelming in its rich detail, but still very usable Worst: [I]Realmspace[/I] — Reads like it was written by a nine-year-old high on fumes 3e Best: [I]Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting[/I] — A stunning achievement that should remain the model for any such book Worst: [I]Faiths and Pantheons[/I] — Cut-and-paste reprint of the previous edition's winner that adds too little new material 4e Best: [I]Neverwinter Campaign Setting[/I] — The only excellent 4e Forgotten Realms book Worst: [I]Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide[/I] — Cover to cover just about as bad as it could possibly be 5e Best: [I]Out of the Abyss[/I] — Still the only really original 5e hardcover adventure Worst: [I]Explorer's Guide to Wildemount[/I] — The only 5e book I wish I hadn't bought [/QUOTE]
