[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 9109100, member: 29398"] Another thing occurs to me: old-timers like me might tend to shy away from 3rd-party stuff after having bad experiences with some of the awful Judges Guild material - particularly adventures - back in the day; 'cause while some JG output was absolutely the best, the rest of it ranged between bad and terrible. The middle ground was not a place they occupied. :) And in the 2e days even the official splats and expansions became suspect due to TSR sometimes re-using the same material in multiple books. Depends what it is, too. As a DM I'll buy an adventure module from anyone as long as it looks worthwhile on a quick read in the store, but not necessarily a whole book unless it really gives me something - or greatly expands on something - I didn't have before and-or can't be arsed to do myself (or have tried and failed to do myself).
