And a larger %age of my RPG purchases are D20 System now than were D&D in the years '93-'00. OTOH, i was only playing from '94 to '95 (not GMing), and wasn't playing D&D at all from '95 to '00, and had no intention of ever playing D&D again, and iyet  bought way more D&D products in that era than i do now. I haven't bought a WotC product since Faeries (Ars Magica 4th). And i believe that is because i, too, am just as selective as i always have been--and yet none of the D&D3E-era WotC books have passed muster. Also, i didn't buy a single D20 System product until last year, for whatever that is worth. The growth of The Forge has probably been the single greatest contributor to my increased RPG purchases--there simply are more interesting games now than before, IMHO. But the WotC OGL/D20SRD has contributed to this somewhat. As an example, Spycraft sucked me in and has me dying to play a game even though, prior to it, i would've said that i don't like the action/espionage genre, in movie, book, or RPG form. So, no, in my case, i don't think it would be accurate to say that the D20STL has "caused" an increase in my RPG purchases.</p></blockquote><p></p>
