Traps & Treachery (both I & II) are excellent resources for traps; I found stuff to like in Spells & Spellcraft, and I love the Seafarer's Handbook. I found Mythic Races to be trying too hard, and it did nothing for me. But I love CityWorks.</blockquote>I agree with your assessments, except Traps II because I don't own and haven't read it. Of all the publishers i pay attention to (Green Ronin, Necromancer, FFG, FFE, AEG, Goodman, S&S, Kenzerco, Troll Lords, Fiery Dragon, Art Haus, Mongoose, Malhavoc, and probably one or two others) I think they have all gotten better. It is just that getting better doesn't win my money, so i look at every product before I buy.     The only product I can pick up and be almost certain I am going to buy it is Necromancer. It has been a while since they put out anything I didn't like, and the fellow who wrote those will no longer work with them.     Green Ronin is pretty good and I love their Book of the Righteous, but i don't have a desire to buy most of their product because it isn't something I am looking for. It does look good though and I haven't heard anyone complain about their Mutants and Masterminds stuff that I know plays it.Even Art Haus (Ravenloft) has gotten better, but they still have a long way to go.The ones I see as having improved a lot since they started is Goodman Games, Troll Lords, and Sword and Sorcery. Their work is now in the B to A- range, with an occassional A+.Fiery Dragon has played it safe by staying mainly with counters, so no real measure there.AEG I cannot give an informed opinion about. They haven't put out anything that I have even bothered to give a quick look through for over a year. For all I know they went under.  Malhavoc is a taste thing. You either like what Monte does or you don't. Personally I am on the don't side, but i do like to read his work. I haven't bought much of it though, maybe 4 books. None of it related to the Diamond Throne/Arcana Unearthed.Thats my opinion.[/QUOTE]
