JasonZavoda wrote:You must be a cheap date since you are so easily impressed.Other than use as a blunt instrument the Worlds largest pile impressed me with mediocre maps, bad writing, no table of contents, no index, poor plot and lack of continuity.After buying it I really didn't see the humor.

It's big, no doubt.My personal favorite for overall most impressive "set" would have to be Lankhmar: City of Adventure. Captured the flavor of the stories perfectly (well, yeah, about 1/4 of it is actually synopses of the books, but whatever), and I always liked the geomorphic customizability of the city map and the in-depth coverage of major (and minor) NPCs. You could really pick the book up and run a campaign with it. Indeed, the rest of Nehwon was barely covered, but then Leiber barely covered the rest of Nehwon in his stories. Faithful to a T.EDIT: The rest of the Lankhmar modules and supplements, IMO (including CA1 and CA2) were a steaming mound of boiled tripe.

These are the kinds of releases that are or were impressive to me, some no longer rank as high as they did when I first read them, opened them up or even saw them on a shelf but at one point they all were memorable.
