[QUOTE="Jedi_Solo, post: 3057139, member: 40245"] As some have mentioned, I think a lot of it is stigma from the first rush of 3rd party 3.0 stuff. Some was very good, some... was not. I, personally, would be more willing to trust current 3rd party stuff than I was after the first rush - but as a player it really isn't my call. I think a second part of the problem with the unbalanced perception, is that there are really two categories for most groups: WotC and non-WotC. If you let in some non-WotC the DM is likely to be afraid that they will be pushed for more non-WotC material - and there is a lot of garbage out there (there is a lot of good stuff too but the DM is worried about the good stuff). Some WotC stuff may qualify for that designation as well but at least they are talked about here and other places to a much greater extent so the DM is likely to have more awareness of the bad WotC stuff (and why it is called "bad") than some obsure 3rd party pdf pamphlet that they never heard of before. Which brings us around to the stigma from that first rush again... [/QUOTE]
