[QUOTE="Ghostwind, post: 1567109, member: 3060"] Whenever a third party publisher hears this, he bangs his head against something very hard. This is one of the mindsets that is difficult to overcome and much of it is based upon inaccurate beliefs, wrong information and/or outdated experiences. (See the article I wrote [url=http://www.d20zines.com/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=1032&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0]here[/url] about the myths of "official only".) There are many publishers that I would put up against Wotc any day and 9 out of 10 times Wotc will lose. There is too much quality stuff out there that deserves being looked it and used. Want a short list? How about (in no particular order): 1. Grim Tales - Bad Axe 2. Lords of the Night: Vampires - Bottled Imp 3. Book of the Righteous - Green Ronin 4. From Stone to Steel - MonkeyGod Enterprises 5. Midnight - Fantasy Flight Games 6. Torn Asunder: Critical Hits - Bastion Press (and not just because I wrote it) 7. Oathbound: Domains of the Forge - Bastion Press 8. Spycraft - AEG 9. Mutants and Masterminds - Green Ronin 10. Nyambe - Atlas Games Just look at the reviews on EN World and see what they say about these products (yes, Grim Tales is new but I expect it will be seeing a lot of 5's). My point is that there are many products that you (or any other gamer for that matter) are shorting yourself and your game with the 'official only' stance. [/QUOTE]
