Gah! It's "Inner Circle". I'm sorry, that's just a peeve of mine.
We do have some changes coming to the line too. More info later this week.

I'm back to DnD (4e) after about a 20 year hiatus and am having a lot of fun. I like the looks of the Goodman Games stuff but have no personal experience with them so I'd like to see some of your opinions on these products. I realize this is all stuff to be released in the future, but in general what kind of track record does GG have?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure I'd count two versions as "up to our eyes in them".
Still, should be interesting to see the different approaches that Ari and Eytan & Co take. October looks to be an interesting month. I'm afraid I can't help you that much, as I've never purchased any of their products before. From what I hear on the boards, they have a pretty solid rep - not the golden chorus of fans that Paizo has, but people say nice things about them. Yeah, not that much help, I know.

Well, this has been a lot of fun so far, and has definitely achieved my personal goal of broadening my awareness of what's out there. Hopefully people keep submitting stuff and it turns into a decent resource. Here's another way of sorting what we have so far:
New versions of Bard/Barbarian/Druid/Monk/Sorceror:
2.5 (Goodman, Expeditious Retreat (.5 is Mongoose's Quintessential Wizard)
New games/campaign settings - ranging in scope from Kingdoms of Kalamar (3.5 setting reprinted w/ 15 pages of updates added) to Amethyst (new races, new classes, new paragon paths, new equipment, completely different setting, etc):
6 (Dias Ex Machina, Inner Circle, Kenzer & Co, Mongoose, Redbrick Limited, Zodiac Gods)
Adventures:
Everyone and their mother - if WotC was hoping for 3pp's to put out a bunch of adventures to support the game, they got their wish.
New Monster Manuals:
1? (Fiery Dragon the only ones putting out a straight-up monster manual? I suppose Necro is planning to push out one of these if the GSL changes are to their liking)

They make some of the best adventures in the business. Certainly better than WotC.

Doh, I wish I had the talent for Wiki. I can't even make a good web page. Someone tried to make wikipedia entry for Amethyst and it got deleted. That blows.

We'll see. I'm worried about the power creep, if nothing else. Mongoose had a habit of making "must have" feats and weapons and such before because they were so freaking unbalanced. Bastion Press had something similar with some of their books. The first book had better be good, or the whole thing will blow up in their faces.
The only other thing that kept me from being completest on the old Quint books (other than the "hit or miss" quality) is that after a point, they became MONTHLY. My wallet couldn't keep up with 'em.
