Which of the following WotC "options" have you used in your campaign?

[Cedric]

I'm sure I'll eventually use Epic...just not quite there yet.

None yet. I plan to use Savage Species eventually, and that's the only one of the three books I own. Doubt I'll even buy the other two in the near future.

 

[Flexor the Mighty!]

I've used the Wrack spell from the BOVD but that's about it. Don't plan on buying the other two.

 

[KB9JMQ]

Own all three but havent had the chance/need to use any yet.
I will probably try to use all of them given the chance to do so.

I have used a miniscule amount of Epic and Vile material in my D&D campaigns, and more recently Vile material in my d20 Modern campaign. However, none of them have actually seen serious use.

I don't know if I'll EVER see Savage Species use, though some in my group have it.

 

[Dr. NRG]

Hmmm, there are interesting if inconclusive implications in identifying individuals immersed in Vileness.

...and the alliterative letter for the day is "I."

Okay, what I meant to get to was that it seems that a pretty large percentage so far are using vile material. Any responses from the "No Vile!" folks on the board?

Just started a "Savage Species" party into 'City of the Spider Queen' last Friday. All 10th level, we have a Trumpet Archon (10th level), Treant (10), Centaur(6)/Fighter 4, two Trolls (10), and a Grey elf (with a grey elf cohort). Managed to kill off the cohort on the first encounter. Centaur (my daughter) didn't feel like playing, so after the first fight she's not with the party any more.

Making the characters was more fun than DM'ing them through the module (so far). My son almost played a Satyr7/Monk3, but changed to Trolll10 at the last minute.

I use bits and pieces from the BoVD. Mostly curses (I love the Warp Touch curse) and monsters. Many of the big name demons have cults in my campaign.

I use SS as a guideline for making monster classes for all ECL races (ECL 0 simply have to take 1 level of their monster type before gaining regular class levels). I've even used several of the template examples as full monster races in my games as well. One guy is playing a Lodorr, an Incarnate Stone Golem that found others of his kind and stablized into a true species, and is having a lot of fun with it.

I don't have the ECL yet, but I'll probably get it one of these days. The only problem with that being I play primarily D20 Modern and I really doubt the ELH will help me too much for 20+ level PC's in Modern. It may give me some ideas on how to mold my own Epic Modern rules however.

I think the Vile stuff is the easiest to integrate into a campaign. Epic is still difficult, and frankly, a lot of people don't find much fun in playing 32nd level guys who can nuke deities. I can't imagine, or even want to, playing characters who are Epic. I think it'd be boring.

Savage has been out just a brief while. Maybe if we asked this question a year later we'll see a lot more people playing it.

 

[Ace]

I haven't used any of these options yet. I don't own any of them either

I am thinking of using Savage Species though and riffing from OD&D

I was thinking of having racial classes for Elves (ECL2-4 IMC) and Dwarves (ECL1) added on

BTW is it just me or does Savage Species have a Paladium rpg flavor? THe racial classess kind of remind me of the r.c.c. (racial character class) from Paladium, at least in flavor

As far as the others, if I run a long term campaign and anyone is interested I might use Epic stuff

Vile stuff? Not likely I go more for Cuthulu than Vile
