Just curious, for those of you playing Blue Rose, what RPG books and supplements have you found uses for in your BR game (or plan to use in the future) other than the three core books (Blue Rose, BR Companion and World of Aldea).

Personally I have found Dynasties and Demagogues (a d20 book) to be a great resource for political intrigue rules and ideas.

I also have found the True20 Narrator's screen to be quite useful.

I took some d20 SRD material for the game, foremost traps, environment (dangers, effects, travel times, ...) and some monsters, as well as taking some from the True20 Monster's Manual.
Beyond that I more took inspiration (not system/rules) from other fantasy sources (books, a german RPG "The Dark Eye", ...)

I used the three core book from the Ravenloft campaign setting as well. ;)

Yup!

That is what I am doing now. OR at least trying to do.
I decided that before I built that world I needed to go to "True20 School" first and get into the system.

But for my money Blue Rose and Ravenloft have a lot in comon and can be used well together, AND remain true to thier roots.

I've only played Blue Rose on a one-shot basis, for which I used:

- An old Polyhedron Newszine with a AD&D 2nd Edition adventure that I converted.
- The d20 SRD, in order to convert a lycanthrope encounter in that adventure. (This was before the True20 Bestiary was available.)

Long before GR announced that the Freeport relaunch would have True20 support (heck, even before True20 was released!), I was considering trying a Freeport adventure or two using Blue Rose. That never happened, but I did make some initial conversion notes (see the earliest entries in my the LJ in my sig). I can't recall exactly which titles I used for that beyond Freeport: The City of Adventure. I was also considering converting one monster from Creatures of Freeport [since done for me in the True20 Freeport Companion] and one template from the Advanced Bestiary [which I may still do for True20].
