What's the best bad RPG book?

[Wicht]

Synnibar is just so ambitious and big and pretentious, that it is easily among the best of the bad books.

Thank you for the shout-out. Forest Oracle was the subject of my third review. I keep meaning to do some kind of show about making the module good, as it has potential.

Heh. You should review The Axe of Morgosh and let us know if we succeeded at designing an adventure more mind-numbingly horrible than Forest Oracle.

Your module was mis-labeled. It should have been designated as module WTF 1

I may review WSD1 next year.

Another nominee I see being brought up in the other thread: the 3.0 Epic Level Handbook.

Sure, the basic mechanical approach is profoundly flawed (your characters stay the same! except with all their numbers slowly advancing). Sure, there are poorly designed mechanics and filler abound. Sure, the good parts of the book were underdeveloped.

But it does have this:

Possibly the best and creepiest piece of D&D art ever. Also, the monster section in general is quite evocative.

Sorry, this comes close to the creepiest piece piece of D&D art ever, but I still think the Century Worm has it covered!

Castle Greyhawk, which is probably on the other thread, because it is bad, and mean, and makes "best of" lists.
