Often lots of material in their interest area (Slayer's Guide to Demons, Book of Fiends, Encyclopedia of Demons and Devils I & II, Encyclopedia Arcane Demonology, Book of Hell).People interested in core D&D stuff could get tons of core D&D material (vanilla fantasy settings, modules, magic item books, monster books, spell and feat sourcebooks, core race and class books).Different play styles could be accomodated (low magic high fantasy adventure Iron Heroes, different magic systems in Arcana Evolved or Everquest RPG or Sovereign Stone, no hp or AoO in True 20/M&M/Blue Rose, armor as DR in Arms & Armor 3.5, etc. Super Heros with no magic items in Deeds Not Words)There was a range of stuff for various price points from high end premier products like Ptolus, Rappan Athuk Reloaded, World's Largest Dungeon, and War of the Burning Sky Complete Campaign, to cheap pdfs and free srd material.I think it enriched the hobby.</blockquote>
