Which D&D supplement do you most enjoy using?

[Aus_Snow]

Ha, yeh. Torn Asunder is some fun, as GM and as player.

Also, as a GM at the moment: Arcana Evolved, Thieves' World, Book of Fiends, the Tomes of Horrors, the Creature Collections. . . that's what springs to mind immediately. Mostly the monster books really. Love them.

As a player, currently: Birthright d20, Dark Sun d20, the XPH, Complete Adventurer, a couple of Dragon Magazines, a bunch of non-d20 stuff. . .

1e/2e: Hellbound boxed set, Greyhawk box, Grimtooths books
3E/D20:Book of Vile Darkness, Hamunaptra box, Castle Zagyg 1

Other misc. sources are the Oerth Journals and Dungeon Mag.

My favourite is Unapproachable East for the Forgotten Realms. It's a great region (you can even have pirates and ninja!) with lots of bacground and history to inspire adventures and it hasn't been ruined by the novels.

You do know about the new Grimtooth book (The Wurst of Grimtooth's Traps) don't you?

I'm not asking which supplement is the best. I'm just asking which one you enjoy using the most. For example, I really like using the Stronghold Builder's Guide. I know it's not the most accurate or balanced book that WotC has ever developped, but I really enjoy making buildings, cities, and strongholds with those nice compact rules.

So which supplement do you enjoy the most, and why?

Oh, yeah.

Sorry, had to do that. I don't see the SBG mentioned often enough on EN World.

For me, it'd have to be Stronghold Builder's Guidebook + Arms and Equipment Guide. Couple those two books with Medieval Demographics Made Easy, and you can create kingdoms and populate them with castles, ruins, and itinerant magic item merchants. Which is, BTW, such a ridiculously fun activity that it has even surpassed Pointless NPC Mass-Production (tm) in my list of hobbies.

The Elements of Magic line from our very own, beloved RangerWickett comes in at a very close second.

None, they are in the end just books. What I enjoy is piecing it all together, forming thecampaign, creating the characters, the world, the plots. The books are references and colors for my blank canvas. I never read a book and things damn this is cool. I read a book and think how I can use it and how it can be fit into what I already have.

I really like the Draconomicon. I'd use the Stronghold Builder's Guide if I had it, certainly.

I also like using the Races books, since they add some neat color and some uniqueness to my characters.

 

[FireLance]

The Book of Exalted Deeds. It inspires me, both as a player and DM. I wish more of my players were into role-playing characters that struggle with issues of morality and faith. For me, that's high drama.

I'm also a big fan of the Book of Exalted Deeds, and I'm looking forward to Heroes of Valor. I like to encourage my players to be noble, selfless and heroic, and to do what is right.

I like to encourage that, usually, so I like the book, but I don't like any of the crunch, so I don't ever use it.

It's not my favourite book as a whole, and it may seem a strange choice, but I think that the one I enjoy most probably is Faith & Pantheons.

Almost every single time I make a character, I pick up F&P and check out some ideas for the character concept from the different faiths backgrounds. Most of the times it's not even a FR game, but I still get useful ideas. A few times I took from it adventure hooks as well.
