[QUOTE="Dextolen, post: 332446, member: 5413"] I haven't bought much third party stuff mainly because, so far, I'm getting everything I need from the WOTC. I trust WOTC stuff (at least pre-layoffs stuff) to be highly playtested, I think some of the third party stuff is not playtested very much. WOTC also is pretty quick to post official errata, FAQs, etc. There is consistancy in WOTC's layout, maps, etc. that I find appealing. I also am not to pleased with the recent rash of hardcover, glossy full color books that run $35.00 plus and feature wide page margins, large font and few pages. WOTC charges that much for some books but you can't deny that they use every inch of their pages, and the page count is usually quite high. Also, I don't want to have to thumb through 30 books to run a game of D&D. When a player comes to me with third party material that he wants to use, I ask for photocopies of the rules because I am not willing to shell out more cash to feed his desire for crunchiness.
