[QUOTE="Igwilly, post: 7358251, member: 6801225"] Well, that was a significant change in tone to not only was you saying, but also to what everyone “let’s have less splatbooks” have said since I’m around here. However, I agree with most of what you said here (although I’m not familiar with Star Trek Adventures). I’ll just comment on a few things: To be fair, there needs to be a base amount of products. Having class content less than once a year is too much slow for me (Edit: for D&D, that is). This is a false dilemma, but I’m not the creator. It’s an attitude I’ve seen a lot (no one flat out says that, it just gets implicit). Message board perspective? I think not. Logically, you’re right. There’s nothing magical about WotC or Paizo that makes their products intrinsically better, but in practice… People don’t have that much confidence. They may buy it, but then it’s about gambling the DM to use it. Honestly, the only place I’ve seen where 3PP are so accepted is on message boards.
