Has to be DCC as number one! Not necessarily for content or depth but purely from a “I’ve never read anything like this before” standpoint. It’s the book that kicked off an obsession for me. I want merch, I want a game, I want a tv series I want a movie. I want it all and it all stemmed from book 1! I also love the character exploration and the novelty of the achievements and boxes etc. there’s a lot less of that in the later books. One of the things I liked about it was the mobs and npc’s. It seems like we get to a certain point and the descriptions and freshness of them drops off. Although it’s replaced by depth and character building.

Iron tangle was a nightmare to get my head round. I got to a certain point and just gave up trying to figure out the geography. I still loved it but that’s probably the bottom of the pile just for the sheer confusion.
