I've never been a compulsive supplement buyer, so my pool of experience is rather limited. My favorites are:

1. The original 1E Temple of Elemental Evil campaign book. Taught me how to tie a dungeon and town site together into a coherent campaign.

2. AD&D FR Cloak & Dagger. Lots of background on the FR power groups and fertile source of ideas on conflicts in my games.

3. Vampire the Masquerade Storyteller's Handbook. Not only did it have tons of background material on VtM, but it contains valuable lessons on gamemastering non-combat oriented scenarios and making them interesting.
 


Hard to choose just one, so I'll list my top five, in no particular order.

1. Quick and the Dead for Deadlands (heck, almost anything Deadlands)

2. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (either edition) and many of the associated supplements

3. Midnight 2nd edition

4. Kult 2nd or 3rd edition

5. Book of the Righteous
 


He hasn't posted yet, but I'll agree with Diaglo. The original D&D boxset. The RPG product without which none of the other listed here would exist.

But that's not the reason I choose it. I choose it because holding the books inside just oozes excitement. The rules are primative but there is a purity to them that all other rulebooks cannot capture. There is value in being first.

My second choice would be 4th edition Champions, aka the BBB (Big Blue Book). Everything you'd ever need really to do just about anything in any genre even with it's focus on Supers.

Legions of Gold is great---good call DMH :D

I haven't read all the GW adventures, just most of them and not only is LOG the most awesome adventure I have ever read, it is the only GW adventure I like- the rest are meh (Fargo) to crap (All Animals).

Which BP did you like? I wrote for the 1st edition of the game.

Well, both. I don't care for either ruleset, but I kept my first edition books when I bought the second.

I recall somebody on Usenet statting up a cereal bowl using that. A cereal bowl. I loved it!

(IIRC, it was an Entangle effect, only vs. cereal, through an Obvious Accessible Focus.)
 

Sorry, I can't do just one.

Dark Champions
4th Edition​
5th Edition​
Hudson City: Urban Abyss​
DEMON​

Fantasy
Birthright​
Midnight​
The Dark Side Sourcebook for Starwars​

Incidentally, I am trying to get my hands on some Delta Green supplements after just now discovering the stuff. I suspect that it will go up there under the Dark Champions heading.
