I ask because there's a comic store nearby that still has a number of SAGA products in stock and I was thinking of picking some up. Thanks.

Personally was a fan of the Fighters supplement (Heroes of Steel I think) -Gotta love the Knight of the Lilly!

Rise of the Titans is hands down one of the best source books ever for the setting.
really, all of the products are good, but Bestiary and Palanthas just own hardcore.

Aug 19, 2003 1:38:21 Agreed with Talinthas. They're all great value for all DL fans (I never played SAGA or in the 5A beyond a few test sessions and I still bought all SAGA/5A products).

Top of my 5A list is The Bestiary, followed by Palanthas. Rise of the Titans is slightly better than The Sylvan Veil IMO.

As for the rest, they're all above average even if the 5A Main Boxed set is lacking for the campaign base. Last Tower: Legacy of Raistlin and Citadel of Light are my favourites of the 5A boxed sets since they are more focused while the other five cover large expanses of Ansalon.

You might want to get the first two. I think they're essential. The next two are very good and highly recommended. The third pair is good for condensed information on the respective organizations.

I'd only recommend the other five and main boxed set if you intend to actually play SAGA.
