Femte listan:
10/10 The Last Dance – d20 adventure (Atlas Games). A beautiful and atmospheric tale of love and hate, and the magic of dancing. Focuses heavily on the role aspect of the game, and forces the players (yes, the players) to actively participate in the action. Well written, brilliantly designed and well edited.
10/10 Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting – D&D campaign setting (WotC). Stunning and beautiful book. Packed with solid writing, game design, and extra material, and the perfect primer for The Forgotten Realms.
10/10 The Wheel of Time Roleplaying Game – d20 roleplaying game (WotC). A complete game in one book, and a solid implementration of the d20 system. Brilliant illustrations and an inspiring take on magic as it relates to the world of The Wheel of Time.
10/10 Call of Cthulhu d20 – d20 roleplaying game (WotC)
*10/10 Requiem for a god – d20 supplement (Malhavoc Press). A fresh format and an inspiring discussion on how to deal with the death of a deity in a d20 campaign. Much of the advice can be used with any rules system. A bit dry and academic, but well written.
*10/10 The Book of the Righteous – d20 supplement (Green Ronin). A complete pantheon and the details of the organisations associated with it. Good rules, excellent organisation and brilliant writing, you can easily drop the contents of this book into almost any fantasy campaign.

8/10 Monster Manual II – D&D monster book (WotC)
*7/10 Book of Vile Darkness – D&D supplement (WotC). A well crafted and great looking book, with solid rules for using quantifiable evil to boost any campaign and the villains it contains.

5/10 The Giant’s Skull – d20 adventure (Fiery Dragon)
5/10 The Longest Night – d20 adventure (Privateer Press)
5/10 What’s That Smell? – d20 adventure (Wicked Press): Interesting idea for handling the presentation, let down by uninspired writing, a cliché plot and sub quality rules editing. Has a novel structure, and is reasonably simple to run, but the book suffers from the organisation and repeats information in several places.
5/10 The Bloody Sands of Sicaris – d20 adventure (Paradigm Concepts)
5/10 Hero Builder’s Guidebok – D&D accessory (WotC)
5/10 The Tuggarth Gauntlet Instant Adventure – d20 mini adventure (Fantasy Flight)

5/10 d20 Dice – d20 accessory (WotC)
4/10 e-Tools – D&D accessory (WotC)
4/10 Thieves in the Forest – d20 adventure (Atlas Games)
4/10 The Pit of Loch Durnan – d20 adventure (Mystic Eye). Poorly organised and illogical adventure that railroads the player characters through the action. Flawed writing and editing, and bad art. Saved by at least a semblance of atmosphere.
4/10 A Lion in the Ropes – d20 adventure (Troll Lord Games)
4/10 The Last Days of Constantinople – d20 adventure (Avalanche Press)
4/10 Castle Dunmere – d20 adventure (Citizen Games)

4/10 NeMoren’s Vault – d20 adventure (Fiery Dragon)
4/10 Interludes: Brief Expeditions to Bluffside – d20 adventure (Thunderhead Games)
*3/10 Evil – d20 accessory (AEG). An evil sourcebook intended for both DM and PC. Ultimately disappointing, with poor and uninspiring rules, disastrous organisation and sloppy and unacceptable editing.
3/10 In the Depths of Blackwater – d20 adventure (Consortium Entertainment)
3/10 Diomin – d20 campaign setting (OtherWorld Creations)
3/10 Galal’s Grave – d20 adventure (Fiend Games)
3/10 Lost Hunt Instant Adventure – d20 mini adventure (Fantasy Flight)
3/10 The Black Stairs Instant Adventure – d20 mini adventure (Fantasy Flight)

3/10 A Thief’s Tale – d20 adventure (Guildhouse Games)
3/10 Dark Tower – d20 adventure (RPGRealms/Judges’ Guild)
2/10 Red or White – d20 adventure (Guildhouse Games)
2/10 Temple of the Troll God – d20 adventure (Fast Forward)
2/10 Fortress of the Ogre Chieftain – d20 adventure (Fast Forward)
1/10 The Horror Beneath – d20 adventure (Nightshift Games).
1/10 The Foundation: A World in Black and White – d20 roleplaying game (Nightshift Games). Superhero roleplaying done badly. Bad art, bad writing, bad ideas and lots of frustrating gender stereotypes. Light on rules and heavy on bad fiction.
Tjosan!
