The introduction of the OGL/d20 introduced a glut of junk into the market, much like the introduction of MtG introduced a glut of bad CCGs. The ammount of junk in the market is just returning to normal.And market forces are not going to trim down the ammount of junk in RPGs. This is not an industry of professionals trying to make money. This is a group of hobbyists trying to put out their favorite games. Market forces are going to have a much smaller impact in RPGs than real industries like steel production.Besides, the market forces don't even work the same in RPGs. d20 cannot handle the range of things people are looking for in RPGs without becoming so unlike D&D as to lose the benefit of being d20. And if the system wars have taught us anything, it's that no matter how similar two systems are, some will despise one and love the other.</blockquote>
