Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mercule" data-source="post: 2631819" data-attributes="member: 5100">Quite simple:  I still read through things in Barnes & Noble (my local store has a surprisingly good d20 section) and LGS.Malhavoc turns out some really good stuff.  Unfortunately, the flavor of the AU stuff doesn't float my boat.  I really need to take a look at the variant psionics, though.Mongoose has been universally underwhelming.  To a real extent, they've tainted other third parties by association.  Somehow, they got to be a major player, while having the only claim to fame of never quite completely sucking without actually adding anything of value.  There always seems to be more Mongoose product than anyone else's, so I've looked over a fair amount of it.Green Ronin is one that I've seen very little of.  They really do sound like someone I'd like to see more from.Ditto on Privateer Press.The one book I own is, IIRC, either AEG or FFG.  Looked nice in the store, got it home and found it devoid of any real meat.  Most of the rest of the products from those companies look about the same.Some of the companies made a bad first impression on me when 3E first came out (WWGS' Sword & Sorcery imprint).  There were some really bad design decisions that showed no eye toward actually paying attension to good design.Others just don't interest me.  I don't remember who is doing the new drow campaign hard-bounds, but I am so sick of drow that I don't even want to look at it.  It was bad in the early ninties, and it's only gotten worse in the intervening 15 years.</blockquote>
