Any single one of them didn't sell enough copies to create much of a profit margin. Yet at the same time, the D&D crowd loves these sorts of tidbits.So what to do? The reason that small companies can get by with smaller print lines is they have lower overhead. So in comes the d20 system license. Small companies can explore new settings and supplements to their hearts content, while WotC can churn out the larger print run items that can sustain such things larger companies worry themselves with (y'know, little things like shareholders and full time employees.)Really, you all should be thankful for the d20 license. With only the stuff that WotC is putting out this year, I think it would have been rather a dry year. But with all the d20 publisher support, you have your selection of settings and supplements. In all likelihood, most players only get a smattering of any of those. But having a rich and diverse selection like this is something unrivalled by any other game.</blockquote>
