I don't know what is offensive. I have not said those 3pp are not good (I hear lots of good about some of them) I am saying that when people CONSTANTLY use "You should buy 3pp" as the hammer when people say "I would like to see this changed" (Especially now mid playtest of updated rules, and I still see it in playtest threads) when no other company that I know of gets the same.This is a pretty offensive thing to say to all the 3PP designers on this forum and elsewhere. Sure, choose what you want to buy, but tearing down 3PPs isn't a good look.
I don't dislike Mongoose, or Enworld publishing, I just don't see why EVERY discussion of change to WotC D&D needs to be hit with "Just spend your money elsewhere".
I DO spend my money else where... on COMPLETLY different games. Long ago me and my group stopped spending on player facing 3pp (and that is just the way we do things) we still house rule, we still glance at free stuff... but if we spend time and money on a non D&D product it is 80-90% of the time not d20 at all.
