But you said "purely 3rd party publishers", and that's simply not true. The free adventure archive on the WOtC site has about 54 adventures you can grab, only one of which is tied to a specific setting (FR). They seem to add roughly one a month. Add to that 13 published adventures since the release of 3e, more on the way, and and average of 36 adventures published in Dungeon each year (so, maybe over 150 since 3e came out), and you've got a *ton* of adventures they've had their hands in.That's getting close to every module published for 1e and 2e *combined*, and we haven't even touched on the OGL products yet.(Why don't the OGL products ever count in these arguments? My gosh, WotC has provided a way for *anyone* to publish adventures for the world's most popular RPG. Sure, this invites a lot of mediocre entries from Joe Blow, but it also allows for anyone with a good idea to bring it to the D&D fanbase. No suits from accounting need be vetoing ideas that don't look profitable. The OGL allows smaller operations who make a product *purely becasue it's a cool idea* to join the fray. This is bleedin' awesome!)Putting out more of them than WotC, yes. That was one of the intents of the OGL, and we have all benefitted from it.</blockquote>
