Why don't you buy non-WoTC stuff?

[QUOTE="Dinkeldog, post: 332498, member: 195"] Mostly I get 3rd party stuff to look things over and get new ideas. Our group's basic policy is to try it out, but yank it if it gets out of hand. That's why Relics and Rituals is gone. At some point, we'll get around to reviewing each spell in the stupid thing one by one and deciding what we think is broken and what isn't, but until we have time, it's out. Q-Fighter got a quick review by two of my players and got pulled. Q-Rogue got the same treatment. So the Mongoose books are out unless they come up with something radically wonderful. Contrariwise, the Rokugan books are in, as is Traps and Treachery and Spells and Spellcraft. All of the Green Ronin stuff is solid, and the one (okay, there are two, but I just wiped one of the two immediately) problem with BoEM2 was resolved without us needing to throw out the whole thing. For adventures, so far Fiery Dragon is doing good by us (aside from the map quality) and we're about to do the last of the WotC adventure path, which were all solid except for the one abysmal one everyone should know by now that I hate. So the problem, THG Hal, is getting in the door, and finding a way to distinguish yourself from other 3rd party companies that have gotten onto our not-so-good list. I'm going to go way out on a limb and suggest that good adventures are still few and far between. [/QUOTE]
