[QUOTE="Belen, post: 1562942, member: 1405"] Has the bubble burst or will we see a number of companies die out in the near future? Is the d20 market saturated with similar books and high prices? There are too many books to keep track of. Personally, I buy from only a few companies now, as I just cannot afford to buy there products and still experiement with the newbs. Even the companies that are left are stretching the available wallet. I can afford Green Ronin, Fantasy Flight, and WOTC only. Heck, I can only afford those three companies at the Amazon rates! Rules: Anyone else have enough rules to last a lifetime? It's getting harder to tell the difference between a lot of companies. Feats, Spells, PrCs have become so standard that they have completed saturated...everything. No only is it impossible to use a fraction of the material, but it is impossible to master any of it. Price: The price of d20 products has been climbing in the last fews years. And this year we can expect to see a product reach 100 dollars! This is just nuts. Is this a symptom of massive discounting? For instance, I would not have bought "Complete Divine" at retail price. Instead, it was worth it because I got the book for $21 dollars from Amazon. Is this the reason price has risen so much and so fast? It's too much. Anyone else feel this way? I feel like I am at the overload point. I love to buy RPG books, but the current market is completely frustrating. Heck, all of the FLGS in my area is cutting back to WOTC books only. You can order third party stuff, but this means that we're buying blind, and so few products get more than a handful of reviews. Ok...so I am somewhat frustrated. I ramble.... [/QUOTE]
