What counts is production value. The "one word" line tends to be low on the print quality end (especially the older titles, like Dungeons). I don't know about SFA, but I do know that nice paper and higher quality cost more to print.AEG's d20 Rokugan book is downright beautiful.I've seen a lot of persons here post that AEG's material is great, and I agree to a point. The Rokugan material is good, I have mixed feelings on the "one-word" D&D line, but it leans toward positive. I found some of the material to be fluff, trite, or just plain not 3e, especially in the Monster title. (Furry kobolds with dog heads ... as goblinoids?)The thing is, there's a lot of garbage out there for a few dollars less. If you can count on content quality, why complain over a price difference that's less than a pick-me-up at Starbucks? It has always bothered me to hear persons complain about the price of a book, when some of those same individuals (not necessarily you) will pay $8 (without batting an eye) for an average of 1 hour and 45 minutes of entertainment at the movies. That $8 is spent on a gamble too, unless one somehow knows whether a movie will be good beforehand.My two bits.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
