[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 6984800, member: 7635"] I find the DMsG for me (as a buyer) has been hit-or-miss. I find its good when, Like IaaB said, it ties into the AP or storyline OR covers something in greater detail that WotC would (for example, Monsters of Ravenloft). That said, there is a lot of chaff product and its hard to always find the wheat. I think its ironic that, effectively, WotC gave the fans the keys to produce whatever content they felt they weren't but we wanted. And with this newfound freedom, we IMMEDIATELY fell into the same products that glutted the d20 market in 2001; PC options, new monsters, and low-level adventures. The community of the DMsG could be using it fill in the gaps with things like level 15+ content, A decent psionics system (without the mystic baggage) or sourcebooks detailing a topic in greater detail. (the Ravenloft Adventurer's Guide is the closest I've seen to a full-fledged sourcebook on DMsG). I'm guess the former is dominant because the latter is harder and more time consuming to produce. It'd also be nice if WotC continued to supply additional content for content providers to use; some supplement art packs and (especially) map packs (or even a simple 2d mapping program) and access to additional settings (FR and RL is nice, but WotC should at least open up a few of the settings that aren't going to get support anytime soon, like Mystara or Birthright).
