[QUOTE="Kichwas, post: 468563, member: 891"] A store near where I live has a sale on selected d20 items. Every friday at the gaming table I'm asked if this or that book is on sale... I only go to the store once every few months as it's a few cities south of me, but I'm the only person in the d20 group who goes there with any sense of regularity. The rest of my group was priced out of the hobby around the time the core books came out. They've each picked up a few items here and there, but not much overall. At both the store with the sales and my local store, there sits a large supply of unsold d20 inventory. Much of it is the same stuff that's been there month after month. I see three things going on right now: 1: price on some items is too high. Such that the only buying it are those with a vested interest in getting it. Casual gamers don't bother. 2: there's a significant amount of glut in certain product lines. Mostly modules. 3: there is a problem of duplicates. Three or more shaman books, three or more Sea books, three or more super RPGs, two or more modern games (d20 modern and Spycraft at least). Apparantly d20 is selling, because the crash for these companies hasn't happened yet. But I can't tell who's buying. The stores I visit are full of unsold product and the people I game with aren't buying any of it. [/QUOTE]
