[QUOTE="JeffB, post: 215878, member: 518"] I voted for Kenzer just getting the edge on SSS (though Necromancer should probably be lumped into that category as well). IMO Kenzer really has their finger on what gamers are like and do like. I also think that they have the highest production values for price (better than WOTC AFAIC) They offer the most bang for the buck. Their modules are really a bargain for the amount of material you can get out of them. The Living Kalamar book was 12.99 or such for 64 pages. HBG from WOC is 14.99 or so with the same page count, worse artwork, and less useful information. The Kalamar Players guide is packed with info, including some very useful things like official feat lists (and where to find them), and Spell worksheets for a 30.00 hardcover. Yes it's B&W, but the layout is easier on the eyes and the art is better (IMO) than the full color 3E PHB (which is now the same price). I just can't stand paying 30 bucks for a book tthat I can't stand to look at (those lines..UGH) or find anything in, but I don't mind paying a bit extra for something that's easy to use and easy on the eyes. (I must say though that Necromancer and SSS are just as good in the issue of most bang for the buck) Due to their contractual issues I suspect, they also have the best grasp of the 3E rules (which is something I don't care about, but it seems many reviews on this site, and others knock any company that doesn't follow the rules to a "T"). There is very little eratta/proofreading probelms for their products (picked up the new Pekal Gaz last night, and only noticed one typo in the whole book). As a DM, I find their products more useful than many otther d20 companies, and far away better than WOTC.. But that's me... [/QUOTE]
