Message: <blockquote data-quote="JoeBlank" data-source="post: 276797" data-attributes="member: 1806">die_kluge, my group seems somewhat like yours. We are all 30+, married with children, attorney, pharmacist, two engineers, and a marketing representative. All are "casual" gamers except myself and one other. He and I both subscribe to Dragon, he also gets Dungeon. We both have PHB, DMG, MM, FRCS, Hero Builders, and some splat books. I also have MoF. I am the only one who regularly visits EnWorld. (Longtime lurker, found Eric's site during pre-release days and was hooked, usually without much to say.)We have kind of an odd situation, in that we are spread out over several states, from Georgia to Wisconsin. We game mostly on OpenRPG, and sometimes by email. I think this is out of the ordinary, in that we all originally lived closer and played in person, rather than meeting online to play online. When 3e came out we had the itch to start up again, played in person a couple times and then to WebRPG and now OpenRPG. I mention this because we can't share books, so when I want to use a spell from T&B, the others have to take my word for it. The others realized that some of us were more into it, and they did not want to curtail our enjoyment, so they agreed that we could use non-core books, but we limited it to WoTC. This was probably fear of the unknown, and a feeling that we could trust WoTC to produce balanced material. Now we are considering allowing non-WoTC materials, probably on a case-by-case basis. Have others encountered this, a fear of non-WoTC products?</blockquote>
