[QUOTE="hellbender, post: 420721, member: 795"] Thorin pretty much got my point out there. I also meant that, in my experience, there are always more d20 products on shelves nowadays over non-d20. The support is there for most any genre you want to play d20. And that is fine, to a point. I feel that many retailers keep a heavy stock of d20 because it sells, due to the support and the innovation. It is a good system, and the d20/OGL license has created a lot of very good companies to spring up and provide excellent products. This has taken a lot of physical space and I see the glut as some so-so d20 products (all a matter of taste and perception) are taking room that other systems could use. For example; in my village, you have a choice: d20, Hackmaster, Hero, or White Wolf. There are a few Palladium books, but they are being rapidly phased out. I special order Deadlands (original system) books because I know the quality is there. I have a 30 mile drive to a town with most everything, which is odd, as it is an obscure semi-shop in the basement of a pharmacy which has the best selection. D20 has years of life ahead, I just hope that many fine non-D20 companies out there are also kicking years from now, and that their quality isn't being overlooked now due to their incompatibility with the d20 sytem. hellbender [/QUOTE]
