Most of those got dragged into the 2nd Edition because of the loving detail that went into that section.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('875','Omnus'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> I still fondly remember the Unearthed Arcana book and it’s lengthy discussion on new weapons, like all the different polearms.

(And a monster book fetish, but that's a different crock pot...) ;) While I liked the 3.x A&EG, my favorite equipment book remains the 2e <em>Aurora's Whole Realms Catalog</em>, which while technically an FR supplement remains one of the best products out there for fantasy RPGs in general. It's got tons of stuff like your favorite elements from the A&EG, and it feels <em>right</em> for the game. Definitely one to check out if you haven't already.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('871','Martin Ralya'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> I have an equipment book fetish.
