[QUOTE="The Sigil, post: 140213, member: 2013"] *Shameless Plug* Well, that's an easy one for me... I have just one product (at the moment) so it is my best one... The Enchiridion of Mystic Music (0.6 MB, 74-page PDF at RPGNow.com for $5). Why should you buy it? Well, I have been told, "it's Song and Silence done right" (don't quite agree with that... there's not much on rogues in mine) -- I had the idea of the book in my head and mostly committed to paper (well, Hard Drive) but waited for Song and Silence and Malhavoc's Book of Eldritch Might II, figuring that they would probably do a better job. When I got them, to be honest, I was REALLY disappointed in Song and Silence... I thought to myself, "they got the Silence, but where's the Song?" I was also kind of annoyed by the BoEM II - the bard variant is a great idea, but kind of forces you to scrap your existing bard and start over with the new rules... which IMO is a cardinal sin if you're trying to add something to an existing campaign. You could use both systems and call them Bard type I and Bard type II (which is what I do in my campaign). I wanted a truly modular system where you could plug it into your existing campaign with almost zero change that expanded the abilities of the bard (let's be honest, we've already seen the wizard/sorcerer spell list expanded by thousands of spells in d20 products so far, but only a few new bard spells that are not also wizard/sorcerer spells). Neither of these products gave this combination to me. Since I had most of a product that did, I polished it up, put the finishing touches on it and put it out there. It's not artistic - I'm no artist - since there is no artwork involved (kind of like Librum Equitis) but I tried to overcompensate with content. Imagine a bard with 80 music abilities instead of just the 5 or 6 in the core rules (there IS a significant cost involved, and not gp only, but it can be done)... now THERE'S a jack-of-all-trades.
