Which Modern supplement should I get

[MetalMan]

Hey and hello, fellow board members!

Just wanna ask which supplement I should get for my birthday.(if it's possible, list your top three). Oh, I already have Modern Player's companion 1 and 2 so please don't suggest these.

Modern Magic (Green Ronin/The Game Mechanics)
Blood and Fists (RPGObjects)
Blood and Guts (RPGObjects)

Menace Manual (WotC) is excellent too, if you don't already have it.

 

[C. Baize]

Modern Backdrops
Blood and Guts
Blood and Vigilance (Super Hero Genre, if you're not into that, then)
Blood and Fists

If you're the GM, you should definately pick up Modern Backdrops.

If not:
Sidewinder: Recoiled
any of the Blood and... series

What would be useful, would be if people explained what the products were and why they are so good as well!

I'll go ahead and to my best for my selections then:

Modern Backdrops is a collection of fictional modern towns and cities, complete with plot hooks (there's no-fx AND fx plot hooks for each place). Also details a LOT of NPCs and building in those towns.

Sidewinder: Recoiled is the 'Boot Hill' for d20 Modern. An excellent product to run games set in that era.

Blood and ... (There's so many of them)

Blood and Fists (And Blood and Fists: Hong Kong Knights) are martial arts books by RPGObjects.
Blood and Guts is for a military game (or just to add more realism to a character who is in/was in the military.
Blood and Space is (as the title would assume) a toolkit for running sci-fi stuff.
Blood and Relics is an FX type Tomb Raider/Indiana Jones type kit.

(Blood and Space is for regular d20)

All I've got are d20 Future and Menace Manual. Neither is great. Most of the monsters in Menace are "eh", and while I like the writeups of the organizations, I'm not sure eveyrone would agree. Worth the $14 I paid for it.
