Do you realize that some of the best third party publishers have people who held significant positions with the Wotc organization? *Green Ronin - Run by Chris Pramas (formerly in charge of the Miniatures Division when Chainmail was still alive and kicking) and who has published books by other Wotc notables like Charles Ryan, Jesse Decker, and Erik Mona.*Bastion Press - Run by Jim Butler (former Brand Manager for TSR/Wotc) with Darrin Drader (who is doing more and more work for Wotc - such as the Book of Exalted Deeds) serving as a member of the development team.*The Game Mechanics - Run by Stan! (former Senior Editor), JD Wiker (Lead Developer in R&D), and Rich Redman (who currently works for Wotc), publishers of d20 Modern support material.*Malhavoc Press - Monte Cook ('nuff said). All of these companies have demonstrated the ability to churn out quality material without having the assets of the Wotc organization at their disposal. They certainly should earn at least a serious glance the next time you visit your FLGS. You might be pleasantly surprised.</blockquote>
