Why don't you buy non-WoTC stuff?

[QUOTE="JeffB, post: 341189, member: 518"] Chris, Thanx for the info. I have been a bit intrigued by your Book of the Righeous, simply because it's not a Monster Manual parading about as a book about dieties like D&DG is. That is the "toolkit" type of stuff I'm looking for (see below) I'll check out your other book too, but as you said..It's JUST about dwarves. I realize there might be a TON of cool stuff about Dwarves in it, but it is still very narrow in scope. I can see where a player might find a need for this sort of thing, but as a DM I need more varied materials, and actually I'd rather buy a "toolkit" type product (Such as Manual of the Planes, or the Kenzer VDHB). I'd rather have the tools to do it myself, than have someone complete the project for me , if you get my drift. Most who have read my posts know I am a fluff over crunch kinda DM anyday...but I do like some...But when I buy a "Crunch" book, I would like to have some variety...The Kalamar PG is a perfect example...It has a ton of stuff..not just for dwarves, but all races...not just for fighters but for every class...and it includes new PRclasses, spells, feats and whatnot for every type of race or class or whatnot... That's not to say I won't buy a narrow scope D20 book If I think I'll need it, but I haven't yet...If I need to build a Dwarven Prclass from an idea I had, I'll make it up myself instead of buying a huge book that I don't really need. I'm just not your typical 3E gamer/buyer....I tend to do the mechanics stuff myself..I need the jumpstarts with plots/adventure hooks/ etc. In any event, thanx very much for the info, and I'll definitely be buying M&M, so you got one sale for sure...and the BotR sounds like it might make it to my shelf as well! :D [/QUOTE]
