Which books does your group use while gaming?

[Wombat]

Currently?

AU, Complete Book of Eldritch Might, Skull & Bones, Swashbuckling Adventures, but not all the time and not all of them necessarily in any given session.

 

[MoogleEmpMog]

Conan the RPG, D&D PHB, Complete (Adventurer, Arcane and Warrior), Oriental Adventures, Rokugan CS, d20 Modern, Arcana Unearthed, D&D MM (1, 2 & 3), OGL Steampunk, Iron Kingdoms Character Guide and a printout of house rules and setting information.

More as needed.

 

[Carnifex]

I currently bring a pocket PHB and Complete Warrior, as I'm running a hexblade. Beyond that, it's pretty much just PHB and DMG (and Book of Exalted Deeds for our exalted monk, possibly, though he seems to know those rules off by hear anyway).

 

[Turanil]

What book do you use while gaming? I mean those books that you use during the actual session, not those books you design your characters with.

So far, I have only seen the PHB, DMG, and MM1 on the gaming table. When playing a particular published campaign setting, there is also the relevant sourcebook (recently it was Eberron).

I currently bring a pocket PHB <...>

First time I hear about this. Where do you find this kind of books?

 

[Jdvn1]

Core books, MM3 (blast that book!), most of the Complete books, and the Draconomicon. And sometimes Libris Mortis. Sometimes the ELH.

... And less often other books.

 

[derelictjay]

Core books mostly if any at all (except for the DM which is me), but its an Eberron campaign so the ECS is used sometimes, as we have a warforged in the group. Now as the DM I reserve the right to use any book in my somewhat extensive library, but I try not to bring them to the table.

 

[KB9JMQ]

My players use the PHB and ECS and that is it.
As a DM the books I use are in my sig.

 

[cmanos]

The only books allowed by the players are the PHB and their respective Complete book and maybe their race book.

The DM has all of them at his fingertips.

 

[IronWolf]

For the current campaign the following books are most often used by the players:

PHB
FRCS
Any one of the four Complete books.

As DM add the following:

DMG
MM
Silver Marches
Magic of Faerun
Monsters of Faerun
Faiths and Pantheons.

Obviously some of those see less use than the others.
