I am trying to put together my Christmas list for my friends and relations to buy me stuff off of.
This is relevant because I usually ask for RPG books.
What do you all think would be most useful to me as starting points to build on for my homebrew, and to have so I can more easily reference it for people wishing to play in my campaigns?
My tendencies as far as a homebrewer: I tend to build weird monsters with histories of how they came into existence and their role in the world as most of their fluff. I also do spells, magic items, and PrCs (starting ideas are usually from crunch, with any fluff flowing out of that). For further details click the link to my extended signature in my normal signature. I've never done much with Pathfinder, but perhaps I should (suggestions for what of the large body of free stuff on Paizo's site I should start with would be appreciated, in addition to Pathfinder splat books I should buy).
My tendencies as far as a Gamemaster: I tend towards games where the players have to use their brains to figure out what is actually going on so they can solve the problem at the core of an adventure, and also to succeed in combat. I try to make "Kick in the Door" style play something that is suicidal.
SRD including the PHB, MM, and DMG (all three of which I also own physical copies of).
Complete Arcane
Complete Champion
Complete Divine
Complete Scoundrel
Complete Warrior
The Deep (3rd-party book)
Dreadmire (3rd-party book... very nice, but some glaring editing problems... setting book for a specific "cursed" swamp.)
Draconomicon
Eberron Campaign Setting
Heroes of Horror
Pathfinder Core Rulebook (...which reminds me, their site has a LOT of stuff on it...)
Races of Eberron
Savage Species (May be a misprinted copy or even badly pirated copy...)
Song and Silence (Rogue & Bard book from 3.0)
Spell Compendium
Tome and Blood (Wizard & Sorcerer book from 3.0)
Masters of the Wild (Barbarian, Druid, and Ranger book from 3.0)
Monster Manual II
Monster Manual V
Tome of Magic
Liber Mortis
Magic Item Compendium
Magic of Incarnum
Warlords of the Accordlands (Yeah... the one based on the CCG that started out as someone's D&D campaign...)
World's Largest City
World's Largest Dungeon
