[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7552096, member: 15700"] A few observations: Most people will think there are plenty of options out there, but there will always be people who don't have [I]their [/I]options available, so there will always be people who say no. Most of the people who don't think there are enough options want the options to be official WoTC published, and not 3PP Many people who don't like 3PP have made assumptions that 3PP is automatically poor quality. I don't agree with this. Yes, much 3PP is poor quality, but that doesn't mean every official product is high quality while 3PP is substandard. I find this especially ironic because most of the people who make that argument ("I don't use 3PP because it's bad, only official material") are also the same people who constantly complain about how the official 5e rules are broken or garbage. It's a new level of cognitive dissonance. Also, I think people forget that Eberron was 3PP. As a 3PP creator, naturally I use other 3PP material in my games, as long as it fits and doesn't seem to be egregious in any way. I'm the DM, I can add, approve, delete, modify anything that comes into my games, regardless if it's 3PP or official. [/QUOTE]
