[QUOTE="haakon1, post: 2531670, member: 25619"] I agree with Rounser, about core WOTC products, but it's also different because of OGL. D&D is a lot of things now . . . vaguely broken/semi compatible rules for Star Wars, D20 Modern, Stargate, Call of Cthuhlu, lots of unnecessary WOTC supplements like Frostburn and Stormwrack, etc. And a million mostly unsuccessful settings and prestige classes for "real" D&D, as it gets Second Edition-ma-tized as Hasbro tries to milk it. (If Hasbro would follow the practice of video game console manufacturers, and not over-milk the consoles (Core Books), making most of their money instead on a licensing fee from the game makers (module makers), and selling just a few first-party games (WOTC modules), instead of trying to messing with the operating system all the time (Stormwrack, 3.5 edition, 4.0 edition), I'd be happier with the OGL idea.) The only stuff that feels "real D&D" to me is Goodman Games, Atlas Games, sometimes Necromancer, sometimes AEG, and sometimes Troll Lords. The rest mostly seems slightly off. Including Eberron.
