And here's the rating system:

1st Tier: Core, or might as well be. The current player's and marshall's 
guides go here, as well as The quick and the Dead.

2nd Tier: Nice to have, but... Within the group, there were prioritized 
by characters I had or expected to be adding, and abilities for monsters 
and such.

3rd Tier: As-needed only. Unless the posse was in, for example, the 
Great Maze, I considered this book (and the accompanying maps and other 
stuff) to be dead weight...
