[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 6174764, member: 232"] 10 years ago was very different. Most companies were jumping on the d20 band wagon and producing tons of material. Even companies like White Wolf who had some writers that really hated d20 were coming out with their own d20 line of books. Prices were also so different. I had one local store at the time refuse to sell any book for over $30. If the book was $35 they would just sell it for $30. That policy didn't last long though. Of course Amazon was just coming out as a great place to buy books. I had a different local game store owner yell at me for buying WLD on Amazon for cheaper then he could get it from a distributor. Yes, there was d20 backlash but really not here. RPG.Net was filled with d20 hate as people saw their favorite games and writers go the d20 way for a little while. It was a good time to be a D&D players as it was easy at least for me to find people. I had a group break up in 2002 and it took less then a week to replace them. Then in 2004 when they disbanded again it was less then a week to find a whole new group. [/QUOTE]
