Have you bought a third-party product in the last year?

[Nellisir]

I've bought a number of 3rd-party OSR products, primarily Swords & Wizardry variants/products. Back in "the day" though, I bought a huge number of 3rd-party d20 products, both physical and pdf.

A couple for 3.5/PF because they were pretty cheap as .pdf - The Complete Book of Eldritch Might, 1001 Spells for Pathfinder. I might not have gotten the former if I had been able to flip through it in the store (not commenting on the quality, was hoping for more spells and less other stuff). I would have paid for A Magical Medieval City Guide, but I think it was free.

It was 31 years old, but also picked up a used copy of Tome of Might Magic by North Pole Press for OD&D/1e/BX.

Back during 3.5, I bought tons of 3rd party stuff. However, having moved on to PF, the only thing I can think of is the Tome of Horrors. Pretty much everything else has been "official" for whatever company designed the system.

Whether or not Official is a product's tag or not doesn't carry much weight with me. I don't intrinsically have any faith that Official products are better (or worse) than Unofficial ones. I've seen fan based products be incredible and "real" products be awful, so I think I just try to do my research about what I'm looking into getting, gauge my enthusiasm about the topic and go from there. I think this basically stands in any community. The talent level is really wherever the passion and money is - and that can really be anywhere!

I'm playing D&D 4e and I haven't purchased any third party products for it. Although I have taken a few Pathfinder adventures and "ported" them over to 4e so I can use them. My group likes 4e but I find the Pathfinder story paths to be extremely entertaining.

To be fair, I haven't bought any gaming products in the last year. Yeah, I'm cheap.

I run 4E exclusively but I still enjoy picking Raging Swan Press's products. Great stuff even if I am not using the stats.

I recently went to 'DrivethruRPG' and picked up many of their free 3rd party supplements. I also have a few things from Darklight Interactive around here somewhere.

I consider 3rd party rules/adventures or such as equity valid as anything the main company produces. Good ideas do not only come from the primary publisher.
