[QUOTE="Aus_Snow, post: 2518675, member: 29112"] No that's not it, as far as I can tell. [i]There are no [/i]"non-Wizards DnD 3.5 products" [i]out there[/i], with the possible exception of a couple of things, like Kingdoms of Kalamar (?) and. . . er. . . Dungeon Magazines perhaps? What I mean to say is, things seem to very quickly get into the territory of 'd20' or 'OGL', as soon as even small details are changed. And really, the only books that are going to be on ([i]nearly[/i]) "every DM's bookshelf" are the ones with a "WotC stamp" on them, apparently. And that 'stamp' seems to be the overriding factor in why that is so, if you see what I mean. So nothing like Unearthed Arcana (which is full of "disruptive new systems for doing things" ;)), no PrC's that are in any way reminiscent of, say, the Cleric++ ('broken'). . . ? (etc.) WFRP2? Sure. It's not even OGL, obviously. But AU/AE? Uh... a well done, fairly balanced (or so I've seen and heard thus far) d20 book [i]that is fully compatible with D&D[/i].. um.. why exclude products like that? Personally, I don't always like Wayne Reynolds' style of art - nothing against the guy or his artistic ability whatsoever, just a matter of taste. Tood Lockwood: one of my favourite d20 artists. So, for me (and maybe other people) your setting of this 'level' just so, might not make much sense. What [i]exactly[/i] do you mean by "mechanically seamless"? I know what my interpretation would be, but I guess it might differ from your own definition. I'm curious to know, either way. I think the main problem with the OP was the whole "non-Wizards DnD 3.5 products" requirement, with the unclear (IMO) supporting restrictions that followed. Correct me if I'm wrong though - for example, if there has been any significant amount of (purely, perhaps officially) [i]D&D 3.5[/i] supplements put out by companies other than WotC. [/QUOTE]
