You are opening a can of worms here as everyone is likley to have their
own opinion. IMO the Vikings box had use, extra spells etc. Glorantha
bestiary is good because it has plenty extra beasties. For spells (Divine)
you can't go wrong with Gods of Glorantha. Otherwise in terms of speels
look up Leon's spell database (he uses a funny port so peopely using work
internet usually can't access it). Check in the links on my page

What else.... I enjoyed Trollpack and Shadows on the borderland was a
pretty good set of adventures.

Hope this helps
