1 out of 5 rating for Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide If you're committed to running a lot of games in the north sword coast, than MAYBE this book is worth your money. Or for players, if your DM is planning to stick to the prepackaged lore of the north sword coast (and run most of their...

5 out of 5 rating for Maze of the Blue Medusa A glorious merging of old school sensibilities with a completely new and original style, organized incredibly well. NPCs are all given simple one-line "wants" and "does not want", making them very runnable on the fly. The content is definitely...

5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Player's Handbook This book could definitely improve on organization (such as putting page numbers in the spell lists to name a blatantly obvious one), but it is nonetheless a book i am damn fond of. Once you grok the layout and where to find everything...

2 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Dungeon Master's Guide No where near the usability of the PHB or MM. Very little in terms of actual DM guidance and at-the-table advice. If you have the PHB, the MM, and an internet connection, you have all a dungeon master needs. Xannie's Guide is a far...

1 out of 5 rating for Princes of the Apocalypse As an at-the-table resource this is HORRIBLY organized, and the content gets rather repetitive and boring. Not recommended. SO many easier to run and more imaginative adventures out there.

5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Monster Manual A dungeon master's must-have

4 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Starter Set Great little adventure that gets a lot right, but not without its flaws. Recommended, especially with the vast amount of online advice that there is for running it.

4 out of 5 rating for Tome of Beasts Imperfect but full of great, useful creatures and lore. Recommended for any DM vested in running a lot of 5e.

5 out of 5 rating for Dungeon Crawl Classics DCC is crazy gonzo fun. The spell system is unparalleled and super flavorful. Takes the 'old school' D&D style and greatly improves upon it.

4 out of 5 rating for Tales from the Yawning Portal Experience this as a player, and enjoyed the episodic nature of the adventures much much much more than the overlong, tedious 10+ level 5e campaigns I've played in

5 out of 5 rating for Volo’s Guide to Monsters Recommended. Full of great, flavorful, thematically consistent and highly usable lore and stats. Evocative, quality artwork. Too bad WotC adventures are such bloated, overlong messes, as the DM and player rule books are fantastic.

5 out of 5 rating for Xanathar's Guide to Everything The only 5e books I use more than this are the PHB and Monster Manual. Better than the DMG, and wayyy better than SCAG.

1 out of 5 rating for Out of the Abyss Played through this adventure (and subsequently read much of it), and the best moments were all when the DM deviated from the content. Played lots of other great adventures with same DM - this one was the most railroady and overlong and frustrating to get...

1 out of 5 rating for Storm King's Thunder This, like most wizards campaign books, takes a good adventure idea and stretches it into an overly drawn out campaign with a ton of meaningless random encounters and half baked side quests. It assumes a ridiculous amount of prep to run anything prior...

5 out of 5 rating for Maze of the Blue Medusa Leagues better than anything to come out of WotC. Amazing original content, super organized, very easy to run. HIGHLY recommend. If they ever publish it in hardcover again, I will buy multiple copies.
