Message: <blockquote data-quote="GM Lent" data-source="post: 8212247" data-attributes="member: 6798775">I responded to this thread back in its first life, and it's interesting to me how little my answers have changed in the time since.Out of the hundreds of D&D and TTRPG books and boxes I've purchased over the years, the ones I've USED the most have been the 2e Al-Qadim sourcebox Secrets of the Lamp and the D&D Rules Cyclopedia. If I have to pick one as the Best, it's the Rules Cyclopedia, though it's far from perfect; it's riddled with typos and errors. But for someone who knows their way around a rulebook and a chart, the issues are easy fixes.Now, as mentioned previously, I've purchased hundreds of books, and I keep buying them to this day. I buy tons of stuff I know I'll never use, tons of stuff I hope I'll be able to use someday, and tons of stuff I find myself using in unexpected ways. C'est la vie.But there are only two books I've ever actually regretted purchasing (well, three really, but the third is regretting giving money to the cretin who wrote it, and I wish I'd known more about that person before the purchase. The book itself is fine).Anyway, the two books that were to me an absolute waste of money and resources were Magic of Incarnum and the 3.5 Dungeon Master's Guide II. Those two books were so devoid of value to me I felt they represented actual contempt for the audience.Others like them, and that's fine. I don't hate. But holy moly, I did not find one scrap of value in either book.</blockquote>
