Message: <blockquote data-quote="Psion" data-source="post: 1750659" data-attributes="member: 172">The single most pointless product, I don't remember the name of, but basically it was an INDEX of all magic items in D&D.Being shrink wrapped, I thought it was like the Encyclopedia Magica. I was misinformed.I actually liked the Complete Priest book. Thoroughly underpowered... but when it came to defining priests in an adaptable generic format, it was inspired. I wish 3e's take on priests was so generic and adaptable, instead of sticking us with Greyhawk deities.I'm not sure what problem anyone had with the Ninjas book either. It (finally) reintroduced martial arts into 2e (something I had to house rule in for years), and had some great roleplaying material in it. It was by Allston and had Halloway art. How could anyone not like that? Sigh. Some people I don't understand.Likewise WSG. Nowadays it seemed primitive (and it doesn't hold a candle to WBG), but it really had the first major world building guidance in it. They even repritned part of it in the creative campaigning 2e book.And I just noticed someone had the audacity to list World Builder's Guide itself. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /> Fortunately, it appears he did not read it (it came with a PAD of forms; the book itself had NO forms in it. No, wingsandsword, you do not remember correctly). Which is, AFAIAC, the only possible explanation for why anyone would knock this book. I still use it today. It has great idea seeds for world creation and great guidelines for filling in blanks and fleshing out worlds.</blockquote>
