I think 3rd Party Products, overall, lead to a better environment for D&D to thrive in. To quote the Vulcans, "Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations."
I voted no as I do not believe that the industry is better by everyone makeing d20/D&D products... I don't believe D&D is better for it either.I don't know how anyone can answer this question as "no", unless they are reading it as "the personal use of third-party products in my game have made D&D more enjoyable for me." I find that hard to relate to, but at least I could see it being true for some people.
I'm better off for it though -- I don't have to rely on WotC's designers and their house style and aesthetic choices. I can seek out compatible systems and adventures and monsters and so on that fit my preferences, and still take advantage of the existing network of D&D players.I voted no as I do not believe that the industry is better by everyone makeing d20/D&D products...

I just had this talk at my table (not me DMing in this case) where we talked about what it would take to start using DM guild things. The basics is it COULD in small doses be doable... but not without risking playing favorites. As such we are not useing third party anything execpt behind the screen (and even then it is mostly just monster books)Yet I remember reading many times how DMs disallow 3PP in their games; strange...
Sure, and other DMs only allow core PH options in their games. I consider such choices perfectly legitimate. Tastes and styles and quality vary.Yet I remember reading many times how DMs disallow 3PP in their games; strange...
I don't think WotC's thinking has changed on at least one aspect of 3rd part products: they don't want to make 32 page adventures and a hundred settings. If WotC was trying to eliminate 3PP material entirely, they wouldn't be negotiating with the likes of Kobold. They want someone to produce that stuff, they just want to control it more than they have in the past.Welp, if the "OGL" (scare quotes are important when referring to Orwellian language) leak is to be believed we know how WotC would vote in this poll.![]()
Oooh, which one? I'm definitely looking for an adventure path that takes characters to 1-11+ and holds together all the wayBest 5E adventure I’ve ran was third party. Not even close to the official adventures
