[QUOTE="JeffB, post: 4942572, member: 518"] I've bought some stuff from Goodman-modules- and will continue to do so. Most have been worth the $- a couple clunkers, but the majority I like or at the least are easy to canibalize. I was one of those people who was really worried about the (lack of) 3rd party support for 4E until I started seeing what WOTC was putting out. I've yet to be disappointed in the "2s" or the supplemental books I've purchased- I'm not usually a buyer or user of much extraneous "crunch" outside the core 3 books for D&D, but I've found all the 4E books I've bought useful or have been inspirational enough to want me to incorporate it into my games. Then there is the DDI which I grudgingly subscribed to a few months back, and I'm finidng stuff in there thats useful as well- whether it's the occasional adventure here or there (like say the new FR ine this month), or a fluff writeup, or simply the crunch of books like AV. Bottom line- for my tastes and needs the current WOTC offerings are fantastic- I like the game, I like the style of products, I like the balance between crunch/fluff, I think the design team is doing a bang up job and I've been supporting WOTC for the first time since 3.5 was introduced. I have not really missed 3PP materials at all. Now, I'd love to see some good modules from Necromancer and the JG materials like Tegel manor, or sandboxy "classic/oldschool" type adventure products, but I've no use for 3PP splat products like 3.x was overbloated with.
