which would be the top three suggested settings books, such as Stygia...etc...
I am looking to get three books this coming week...
depends on what you are going to play....
i makes no sense if your players are great fans of the black kingdoms or kithai and you are buying across the thunder river. think about your future campaign plans and buy what makes the most sense. but it's a great campaign / setting book anyways and is value for money.
i like "aquilonia" but won't recommend it as necessity because it's nice but not spectacular (and you can improvise much of it with the information in road of kings).
STYGIA is a great source for ideas and adventure
same goes for RUINS OF HYBORIA (you can always find a ruin for your actual gaming location and can throw it in the game). not really a "setting" book but extremely useful !
the two city boxes are "nice" (remind the map problem!) but after the scenario(s) perhaps your players never visit this area again...so you have bought it for "one shot".
