[QUOTE="Warchild, post: 35206, member: 769"] [i] I think thats interesting. You automatically assume its going to be the best supplement ever and it hasn't been released yet. Did you write it or something? :) Or were you talking about Legions of Hell, which i obviously did buy. At least i plan to look at it before i decide if it stays on the shelf. If it has mechanics problems or just plain typos, it will do just that. I have no more patience for companies that have been around a while now and still don't get it done. It remains to be seen if thats describes Green Ronin for me. I like their writing, so they get a chance. WOTC's Cr's? Well they seem to have a better grip on the low to mid-end stuff, but there is some problems with their high stuff as well. I know i am not alone, or just some "crazy loner" on this subject, though. You bring up a good point though, when you say that Green Ronin is as good as anyone's stuff. Thats exactly my point. I'm not going to buy things anymore because, hey "they aren't any worse than anyone else's stuff". I was willing to think that way when D20 first came out and everyone was getting a grip on things, but that phase is gone now, i expect quality in all phases of a product before i'll spend my money. But i certaintly didn't mean to highlight just Green Ronin. Sword & Sorcery gets the same treatment, as their stuff is constantly filled with errors, typos, and questionable game mechanics(most notably their prestige classes). I am getting to like the Scarred Lands quite a bit, but if i see a glut of mistakes in their next supplement while giving it a cursory glance at the game store, i am no longer buying it. I may be just some hapless duck in whirlwind, but i am taking a stand. If we don't stop buying lower quality books, the companies won't have the incentive to clean up their books. If we complain, but still buy them all, you don't get a change! I've been labled a jerk because of this, but that doesn't phase me at all anymore. I'm also getting sick of the, "hey give us a break, we are trying" crap. If you put out 8 products in a row and they all have abunch of screw ups, i ain't buying it anymore. That makes sense to me, if no one else!! "Hey, buddy, i konw the car has some break problems and the bullet holes could be a problem, but we did our best. The next car you buy from us will be a little better, we swear!!" "Hey, mr. customer, sure a a bunch of the condoms in this package will probably be faulty, but the next batch will have fewer duds.
