So, you'll see a psionic feat or four, but not a whole lot of material.The other publishers don't really support past D20 stuff, it's rare for material to build on previous material, unless it's a totally seperate OGL Game (like, M&M products all build off M&M core, obviously). They've gone so far in making sure you don't require 30 different books, and that everything is modular, that I think there's little sense of an evolving system in most OGL/D20/D&D stuff.That's part of why the D20 Glut was so bad, IMO. Those early books you bought haven't been advanced on. There may be an alternative system for naval battles, but no one has invested in one and added to it and grown it and such. So instead of adding to past successes, we get alternatives. If the earlier material were SRD'd, and built on, I think there'd be advancement. Instead we eventually get a PDF copy of the ancient book.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
