Top 5:

1: Lost Ships (just too, too cool. Ed Greenwood proves he can do something with
barely any Elminster in :)
2: Under the Dark Fist (The only way to run a mid to high level SJ campaign.
Great baddies. Massive scope)
3: The SJ set itself. Pretty damn fine.
4: Undermountain: Stardock. Not technically SJ, but still great fun and very
interesting in a part SJ campaing like yours. This mark is simply for its SJ
relevance. As a Realms thing, it's one of the best.
5: Goblin's Return. Good adventure. Has a primary Witchlight Marauder in. Cool.

I haven't got the Spacefarer's Handbook, unfortunately, but I hear it's quite
good. The War Captain's Companion is good, but the combat rules are a bit
boring. And it totally misquotes Khelben Arunsun's stats.

I'm on Realms, Planescape and Mystara as well. I like all of them (although the
Mystara one is intermittent and tends to get obsessed with silly things). But
thanks for the collective compliment.
