[QUOTE="mamba, post: 8910191, member: 7034611"] costs more money to create better products, and they sell enough as is to not bother. Don’t get me wrong, they do deliver a certain level of quality, art is decent, stuff like that, but the actual adventure / setting definitely can be improved imo. I am not saying they are the bottom of the pile. Their stuff is very bland and generic however and often badly structured when it comes to providing the players the plot / direction to go in to get to the next part of the adventure. There are a lot of articles out there about those flaws and how to fix them, and most of that stuff should be obvious and not even have made it that far in that state. The answer to the generic part could also boil down to taste, or the fact that they go for mass appeal, but taking out those that provide more exotic locations etc. does not really help them sell more books to me that I am not interested in. It just means I have fewer to choose from / more to do myself. Worst case (for them) it means I switch away from their system to one that better supports me, and stop buying any of their stuff as a result. [/QUOTE]
