[QUOTE="The Scythian, post: 9246773, member: 6875986"] You might be right, but in this case specifically, I think it's more a matter of Spelljammer deck plans not being all that useful to the vast majority of D&D players. Only some D&D players are going to buy the Spelljammer supplement. Of those, only some are going to end up running or playing in a Spelljammer campaign. Of those, only some are going to reach the point where they want or need any kind of third-party materials, like deck plans. On the other hand, even though the number of Starfinder players is far smaller than the number of D&D players, starship deck plans might be useful to a much larger percentage of them, resulting in stronger sales. (On top of that, it's also possible that Starfinder deck plans might be useful to players of other science-fiction roleplaying games in ways that Spelljammer deck plans might not be.) I'm not disagreeing with you. I think there is resistance to third-party products among a lot of D&D players, for a bunch of different reasons. But I also think that some products are just a lot less likely to sell well than others. [/QUOTE]
