For example, someone might have Grim Tales and Eberron on their "to buy" list.  So, they order Grim Tales and it totally blows them away, and they decide that they're going to wait for Cydonia instead, and to hell with Eberron because GT has convinced them to switch "operating systems" if you will.One final question, and perhaps this is best served by a poll.  Do you believe that the advent of the d20 license has caused you to purchase *more* RPG products than you purchased in previous editions?  If the answer to that is yes, than my argument is wrong.  If it's not, then my argument may have some merit.  The answer may be biased, because we're all older now, and make more money, but it's food for thought.  I believe my answer to be no.  I'm just as selective now as I always have been.</blockquote>
