[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 9091753, member: 6877472"] I totally understand how we got to this point; you can't sustain a business by throwing books into the aether and hoping they will be bought by gamers. Again, what's a hobby for me is a business for the gaming companies. They have to produce to survive, and the days of many sourcebooks are gone. But like I said, this is also when the hobby was at it's peak for me. Even as recently as Pathfinder 1e, the "many books" model was a thing. Now that it seems to be gone, and everything is scaled back, I really have no choice but to purchase 3rd Party books and hope to find something good there. And it's not that all third party is bad, I've bought Adventures in Rokugan and Paranormal Power in the last year, for examples. As well as several Kobold Press books. But there is a small stigma attached to such books, unfortunately, so when I purchase them, it's with the full knowledge that the chances of using them is lower. Not that the chances of using Charlemagne's Paladins was ever great, but hey, 2% is still better than 1%, right? [/QUOTE]
