I have a half-dozen boxes containing yet more roleplaying books, and I have at least one pile of books tucked away in a storage closet out of the way. I will never again make use of a large proportion of these books. Quite simply, I do not need to ever again buy a d20 book, without ever having to fear that I'll run out of material to use.As a consequence of this, I have become rather more picky in what I buy. In fact, I essentially no longer even look at a book that isn't from Green Ronin, Malhavoc or, of course, Wizards. There are two exceptions: I'm interested in the Babylon 5 line from Mongoose (but haven't actually bought anything in months), and will look at the occasional product I see recommended here. I'm aware that this means I'm missing some real gems, but I don't have a lot of time to seek out good products, nor any huge incentive to do so, and I don't have a FLGS where I can browse such things at leisure (sadly, following a house move  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /> )The one area where I am interested in new product are 'disposable' items like adventure modules. However, even here, an adventure would have to have some sort of hook to interest me, as I subscribe to Dungeon, and so again have more material than I will ever use.I don't know how typical I am of the consumers in the d20 market. However, given the size of the market, if even a small number of people are in the same position, that could have a significant effect on the whole, especially with so many small companies competing for the same small pool of customers.(As regards Charles Ryan's comments, I'll say only this: I am very interested to hear more about this 'long term solution' that Wizards are working on.)</blockquote>
