[QUOTE="Sagawork_Studios, post: 4839814, member: 83220"] Having got back into D&D as a player during the D20 glut I saw some of the really good ideas [I]péter out[/I] because of they lacked follow-up support in one way or another for their campaign setting/ruleset/adventures. One company in particular produced a fantastic setting, then a great series of splatbooks to support it, but only one adventure. This setting wasn't for everyone, but it did have a sizable following. It is my belief that if there was more adventure support for that campaign setting, be it from the company itself or from another licensed 3rd party, they could have had a longer-lasting hit on their hands. In regards to a possible glut, I am not saying everyone is, but it would be an absolute shame if people were scared away because they were concerned about a possible glut. If there is a glut, at worst, I cannot forsee a greater effect other than people posting 'I told you so.' Even if every company that signed up for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game produced a ton of excellent stuff that not only augmented the game but added new and exciting dimensions to it, it is still the responsibility of the Game Table as a whole to decide what they wants to use and what not to. (It is also my opinion that a GM can never have enough adventures, but I also have a vested interest in that comment) :P That said, I am a company of one man and who is prepared to accept that my adventures for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game may end up as a mere drop in a vast ocean of good products that emerged from my peers and from Paizo. But this is what drives me to try consistently harder. I want to make my adventures concise, memorable, and thereby, attractive to GMs. By my quick count, [URL="http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/compatibility/registry"]fifty-four bodies[/URL] have expressed interest in producing products using the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Some of which have already produced good OGL products. I am confident that we will see some good products from the NKOTB and the established guys. If anything, I would ask people to support the stuff they think it is good. If it is bad, be constructive in your criticism. Writers are funny like that; they live for the approval of others.
