[QUOTE="ggroy, post: 4958544, member: 83805"] The only 4E 3PP adventures I have purchased regularly over the last year, are the Goodman Dungeon Crawl Classics modules. I haven't really bought many other 4E 3PP modules. (I did pick up the first two Lands of Darkness modules by Expeditious Retreat Press, but didn't find them particularly useful for my campaign. I don't think I'll be buying any more of them anytime soon). If there is another upcoming 4E 3PP company publishing adventures in print, they would have to be at least as decent as the 4E Dungeon Crawl Classics modules released so far, for me to more than just skim through them. Recently I skimmed through the "Scarrport: City of Secrets" book at a local FLGS, but found that it would be almost next to useless for my present campaign due to the presence of new 3PP classes, races, etc ... (I didn't buy it, and put it back on the shelf).

About year ago, I even offered them the use of some 4E 3PP books like "Forgotten Heroes: Fang, Fist, and Song" (by Goodman) and "Advanced Player's Guide" (by Expeditious Retreat Press) before the 4E PHB2 was released, but there were still no takers. A year ago back in the summer and fall of 2008, I was more receptive towards 4E 3PP books whether they were adventure modules or crunch heavy splatbooks. With the DDI character builder achieving such a huge dominance very quickly over the last year or so, today I don't even bother anymore with 4E 3PP crunch heavy splatbooks which are player specific. I'm not the OP, but so far not many announced 4E 3PP titles in the pipeline look all that compelling to me. At this point, I'll be taking a "wait and see" approach for the upcoming announced print 4E 3PP titles like: Freeport, Nevermore, Amethyst, Age of Legend, Scarred Lands, etc ... If any of these books have too much stuff that my DDI character builder "addicted" players will object to, I don't think I will be buying many of them. I simply won't buy any more books which will sit on my bookshelf collecting dust, which have very little to no use in my game (beyond just reading the book once). The crappy economy isn't helping much either, where I've been spending less overall in general. [/QUOTE]
