Message: <blockquote data-quote="Taren Nighteyes" data-source="post: 332330" data-attributes="member: 806">The vast majority of my spending is on WOTC products, for a few reasons:1)  WOTC created/owns the d20 system.  All of what they produce abides the same balance/rules they created. (usually <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />)2)  By limiting myself to WOTC books, I limit my spending.3)  There are only so many prestige classes, feats, and special powers I want in my game.  This is how I limit them.Exception - I do buy Malhavok Press stuff by Monte and the gang.  They were creators of the 3E system and still, in my mind, are experts of the game - i.e. I know of them and their reputation.Don't get me wrong, I own RR by S&S, Traps & Treachery by FFG, The Q- Fighter by Mongoose, and Seas of Blood and Broadsides! as well.  But I was extremely dissappointed by Q-Fighter - re-introducing the "kits" from 2E, basically.I am sure there are many worthwhile d20 products that are not made by WOTC, but I have neither the time or money to buy read or buy them all.  In addition, I prefer to take a book and use ALL of it, not just the pieces that I think are cool.  I do have some house rules, but I've never taken only 1 feat, or one section of a book and added to my campaign.  It is all or nothing.Some companys/products have some serious balance issues, and others needed an editor that knew how to read.With WOTC, I know the crap I am buying.  Going with the devil I know.Taren Nighteyes</blockquote>
