But WotC released its share of them too. Anyone remember the Hero Builder's Guidebook?The trend has been for the d20 publishers to put out better and better stuff, while I feel that WotC's books, while mostly good, have been declining in quality.Examples: Deities and Demigods - OK, it's neat and all, but frankly, for divine powers, they're pathetic. WotC should have waited until AFTER the release of the ELH, then released D&dG with full use of the ELH rules and new rules to make them really godlike in power.Silver Marches - have the developers at WotC stopped reading their own rules? This book has some of the worst designed prestige classes and other bits of cheese I have ever seen. And people wonder why I can't stand the FR.d20 Modern - had so much promise. Now with what I've been hearing about it, why bother? It sounds like just D&D all over again. Stick with Spycraft.And so on and so forth. Brand loyalty is petty much meaningless these days. It's hard to tell what's good and what's not just by looking at the publisher. The only way to really be sure is to crack the book open and take a look at the inside.</blockquote>
