Ultra quick and easy question for you lot. I need a list of all the 3.5 FR books, preferably ranked in order, with the one with the most amount of crunch (which I'm guessing will be the Players Guide) at the top.
Doesn't need to be exact, just a quick guestimate will do. Thanks in advance!

I knew there was a reason why LEoF, PoF, and GHotR are my three favourite 3.5 Realms books...  |
Playing in the Realms since the Old Grey Box (1987)... and *still* having fun with material published before 2008, despite the NDA'd lore.
If it's comparable in power with non-magical abilities, it's not magic. |

| PoF is the only one that I have read cover-to-cover of those three. I still need to buy the Shadowdale, Anauroch, and Moon Sea adventures. |

| Incidentally I have all these books for sale. Ten dollars (CAN) per item is what I'm angling for... |

Looking at the list again, I probably would have ranked the adventure trilogy above Underdark and Shining South for crunch content... but that might just be because of my dislike for 4.0 and the fact that, if I want crunch, I'll buy a bag of chips. Anyone can bash out stats; it's the lore content that made a pre-4E FR book worth buying, because that's the stuff that's time-consuming for DMs to create on their own. We can hope that Wizbro will have figured some of these things out by the time 4.5 comes along...  |

| One should really have a look at Amazon's marketplace sites, as you can get very (as in VERY) good deals for some FR books now - stocks need to be cleared, apparently. |

| As an aside, the reason I wanted this list was so I can prepare to convert as much of the crunch as possible to the Pathfinder rules. Should be easy enough to do, I think. |

I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

In that case, Power of Faerun might be hardest, as its treatment of leadership rules depends upon epic underpinnings that might not be true for Pathfinder. |

Would you have a list of the 3.0 books per chance? |

In the same order:
Monstrous Compendium: Monsters of Faerun (has 3e red/monster trade dress)
City of the Spider Queen
Faiths and Pantheons
Lords of Darkness
Magic of Faerun
Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting
Silver Marches
Additionally, my 3.5 list missed Mysteries of the Moonsea and the Twilight Tomb if you're being really completist. |

I would add Into the Dragon's Lair too. |
