What was the last D&D/FR source or sourcebook you read or referenced, and why? I'm interested in the answers, but this is an extremely easy question to spam up, so it's here so it won't lead to artificial inflation of people's post counts.
As for me, I was just looking up how metapsionic feats worked according to the 3.0 psionics system, of all things, to check a point someone made over on the WotC boards.

Hello-
I recently finished up w/ Power of Faerun.
However - the last thing I referenced was either the 3rd FRCS, or Faiths & Avatars - as they are both right at the top of the 'recently accessed and need to be put away or looked at again' pile.
As an aside - I printed up the Grand History of the Realms yesterday too - so I glanced at parts of that out of curiosity also.

I am collecting the D&D Minis. I would be more than willing to trade with people. You can send me a PM here with your email listed - and I can send you my minis list. Thanks!
Successfully traded with Xysma! |

| Faiths & Pantheons, a day or two ago. I checked it immediately after checking Faiths & Avatars, looking for a bit of lore on Shaundakul. |

Okay, I just had to reference another Realms book: City of Splendors: Waterdeep.
I was about to post a question about a 2E spell, wondering if it had been flipped to 3E. I decided to Google it, and one of the hits listed the new name of the spell, which led me to look in that sourcebook for it. The spell had been flipped, but now I've got a question in Eric's queue about it.  |

| Lands of Intrigue which I've started to put through the printer - thank you for the freebie, WotC! - just because it's nice reading it without the computer-screen making my eyes bleed. |
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

| Well, the last one I ever touched was Champions of Valor. D&D supplement...the last one I read was Monster Manual III. |
We have fostered trust, recruited loyalty, and gathered the faithful. We have trained thousands. Our legions can cover the land, fill the sky and travel through the darkness. We can hunt any and all that would deny our heritage. Now is our time, now is the time of the Dark Reign(Rain) of the Empire of Shadows.

Yesterday I looked at Unapproachable East, Evermeet: A Novel, Cormanthyr, The Simbul's Gift, City of Splendors: Waterdeep, Volo's Guide to Waterdeep and Lost Empires of Faerûn.
The day before that I looked at Dragon Annual #2, Secrets of the Magister, The Seven Sisters, PH and DMG.

The FRCS and the deity trilogy for references, as usual.
As for the last sourcebook I sorta read, it was Power of Faerun. :) I really need to read through the 3/3.5e FR sourcebooks, but something makes me zone out when I do, unlike the 1e and 2e lore. It's the strangest thing...... |

I'm flipping through Champions of Valor at a leisurely rate and enjoying it quite a bit, especially the stuff on Impiltur.
Recently searched through Expanded Psionics Handbook for the Psionic Weapon feat chain and relevant related topics. Working that into my revision of the Blade Kingdoms. It should be a way to keep the area very low psionics and differentiate the swordsmanship of the scarce Jhaamdathan remnants.
I also checked out the revised Psionic Weapon Master PrC from the Mind's Eye articles on the WotC/D&D site; found that rather appealing. |

| The FRCS for the same reason as Alaundo, but in the spirit of the scroll, I was looking through the Monster Manual trying to find a picture of a maralith I think it was... |

I know I've said that once or twice myself...
Though I must admit... Power of Faerun was the first 3e FR sourcebook, in a long time, that I read all the way through.

Ditto for me to, I found so much info and ideas just kept popping up as I read it. I've waited for a book like this for FR for years. I just wish it could have been longer. :( |

I thought I'd bump this old topic and say that the last thing I looked up was in Magic of Faerun, I believe it had something to do with that pesky Magister title.  |
And if the PCs DO win their ways through all the liches to Larloch, “he” will almost certainly be just another lich (loaded with explosive spells) set up as a decoy, with dozens of hidden liches waiting to pounce on any surviving PCs who ‘celebrate’ after they take Larloch down. As the REAL Larloch watches (magical scrying) from afar. Myself, as DM, I’d be wondering: “Such a glorious game, so many opportunities laid out before your PCs to devote your time to, and THIS fixation is the best you can come up with? Are you SURE you’re adventurers?” -Ed Greenwood

| Since I am almost finished with the Magehound, I took out my copy of Shining South to check out the PrCs and how well they match up with what I have been reading. |

Monsters of Faerun - looking up archliches. Been mostly sticking my nose in the FRCS over indexing it for the indexing project I am trying to get off the ground. I know i will be digging into Cormyr and Cult of the Dragon soon in prepping for a library game I help out with.

| The Silver Marches has been my constant companion as I'm presently running a campaign there. As the current foil for my players are twin male/female incestuous demon worshippers (hope that isn't too risque for this site!) I've also been making my way through the Hordes of the Abyss supplement. Fun! Now how else can I confuse the heck out of my players? |
My hopes are ashes, my dreams are dust. All my intentions mean nothing unless they are followed by action. |

Maybe. Now think about this. Twin male/female incestuous demon worshippers throwing really sweet rave in the abyss.

I looked through Lords of Darkness, 'cause I am working on the end plot of my long FR Campaign. The players have to face off against the cult of the Dragon and its leader Sammaster. Besodes reading the cult of the Dragon entry once again I took a closer look at the stats of Larloch as an example for a very powerful lich.

| I was looking through Underdark hoping to find an example of an orog enclave for my Menzo campaign. But of course that was a no go. The last book that actually helped me was Monster Mythlogy for the same campaign for the derro deities Diirinka and Diinkarazan for a campaign arc that I hope my players will latch onto. |
