[QUOTE="giant.robot, post: 5299478, member: 93119"] I was going to say the same thing. I like the DM supplements because they give me ideas and let me liberally steal details when I'm trying to flesh out something of my own. Rename a couple of NPCs and change a few details of a town and voila you've got yourself a location with a lot of back story for players to chew on. You need to have something to tell them when they make that high Knowledge, History, or Streetwise check. As far as the quality of subsequent books goes I think anyone something for a while will get better at it. The latest splat books Aren't necessarily written better but they do have updated stat blocks and conform to errata that didn't exist when earlier books were written. They also don't have to cover more basic elements since previous books already did that. The Dark Sun Creature Catalogue had a couple pages worth of traps and hazards related to the Dark Sun setting but didn't have to cover more traditional traps and hazards because other books already have that information.
