For me, I would buy either Nyambe or Northern Crown -- they are fascinating and different, with ideas that you can port into multiple systems. :)

I choose Nyambe, Other and Magic Item Compendium. 'Other' in this case is the Beyond Countless Doorways - I love that little gem of a book.

Holy Bovine mentioned Beyond Countless Doorways: I haven't had a chance to read it yet myself, but I just got it partly due to recommendations here.
Actually, I've had BCD for quite some time and you're both right -- it is an excellent book. I don't use the cosmology but I've included several of the unique planes described in my homebrewed Mirrored Cosmology.
 



Nyambe is great. I also adore Love & War in ways I can barely put into words.
I think Nyambe is definitely on my list. I'm also interested in Love & War and many of the other Penumbra d20 books. I just got Seven Strongholds and Crime & Punishment but I haven't had a chance to look at them.

Can you break down what's great about Love & War, since you have it?

Also, can anyone with Relics & Rituals: Olympus tell me if its any good? I have Relics & Rituals: Excalibur and really like it. How does the Olympus one compare to that one?
 


I have vote for Raventloft and Dragonlance, which are 2 classical but very good campaign setting.

Contrary to many people here, I disagree with Magic Item Compendium being a good or useful book. There are too many magic items, and it's hard to find something that will really suit you in there. Furthermore, I find many (all ?) items in this book unbalanced, too powerful when compared with core magic items (more precisely, if find the market price of many magic items too low for what the item does).
