I began doing this during the Great d20 Glut, when product quality tended toward the poor. We were all learning the system, and I was clearing out the 1E cobwebs and assumptions. I didn't need the added complication of shoddy materials. I felt that Wizards products were better-grounded in the rules and benefited from better playtesting. These days, I don't have the time to look over third-party materials for balance and flavor; even some products with the Wizards imprimatu (like the PsiHB and BoED) are tossed out on that basis.My group is very legalistic when it comes to the rules. We all try to eek out every last benefit we can. I can trust Wizards stuff, on the whole, to be within the realm of reasonable (save wackiness like the Ur-Priest and Pun Pun). I just don't have that trust relationship with the other companies, nor is one likely to develop.</blockquote>
