I think someone needs to go back to Political Science 101.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> I'm one of those "official DND" purists  you mentioned.  For the most part I only buy WotC stuff.  However, this isn't because I'm hung up on buying stuff that's "canon" or "official", so much as I have many others things in my life that I enjoy besides RPGs.  I'm married and have a one year old daughter.  I am an avid reader and writer.  I'm a film buff.  I play chess.  I'm a runner.  I'm a fairly dedicated Christian and my faith takes up a lot of my time.  The point is that the amount of time I can spend on RPGs is limited and so it turns out that when I do have the rare opportunity to buy a new book, it's usually a WotC one and I have been tremendously impressed with the quality I see in their products.  I don't have the time to hunt through all the obscure third-party stuff.Another thing that I like about "WotC-only" is that you are guaranteed to be buying something that other D&Ders are familiar with--the third party stuff will often get puzzled looks from other D&Ders when you refer to it in the course of a campaign. So maybe there is something to be said for canonicity. [Shrug]Maybe I'm "Neo-Orthodox WotC Conservative" with reactionary leanings.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
