Ive got some of the Goodman Games DCC lines, and am eagerly awaiting Ameythyst.
What is Wrarith Recon like, as ive been considering picking it up?
I've bought Blackmoor, Scarrport, the Wraith Recon stuff and the goodman adventures although I havent ended up using any of them yet.
We've talked about running a Wraith Recon side-campaign for a change of pace. Blackmoor and Scarrport I got more for interest than anything else. The Goodman Games adventures are likely to get the most use - not as is but as side-treks and/or plundered material for a homebrew.
Fairly little since I only play occasionally and don't have a chance to DM. I have Wrath of the River King, the Halls of the Mountain King conversion, and I'm a patron on Courts of the Shadow Fey, all from Open Design. That's it so far.
Out of all the decisions wizards has made in regards to 4E, my biggest gripe is third party support in regards to DDI. What appears to be a simple matter of modifying the program to allow third party content to be added may never materialize. I do like DDI, but it also influences my decision to purchase third party products.
I have a couple of DCCs, but nothing else. WotC releases enough stuff on a monthly and daily basis to keep me satisfied and its all already integrated into the tool set.
I just got Azagar's Book of Rituals from Goodman Games. I also have 3 adventures also from Goodman that I am cannibalizing for my Mystara 4E game.
I was big into Scarred Lands from Sword & Sorcery Studios back in 3E's era but other than those I never bought much 3PP stuff. If a really cool campaign world came out from a 3PP I would be all over it though.
I'm not big into buying 3PP, I mostly design my own stuff. However, I did pick up some One Bad Egg products - Hard Boiled Armies and Hard Boiled Cultures. Both of them were very good for the price.
I've bought Blackmoor, Scarrport....What are those like? I've been debating about purchasing them.
I don't really know how to answer - I don't know enough about the game to judge whether it's well done or not in a game design. Based on subjective taste - I like Blackmoor but not Scarrport.
Neither of them were what I was really looking for - I think my perfect 3rd Party campaign world wouldnt include much crunch at all - I'm a little suspect as to how balanced some of the classes/races are. Plus (as others have mentioned) it's not in the DDI subscription so that just makes it harder. I'd really like some interesting world with cultures/history/hooks but without non-standard races and classes. In that vein Wraith Recon was much more what I was looking for (although the magical strike team schtick isnt quite what I wanted - it was nonetheless 'closer').
Part of it is no doubt having been spoilt by Paizo, WoTC production values - black and white just doesnt cut it anymore (even though it shouldnt really make any difference, it somehow does).

Hmmmm. I'll think about it. Thanks!
The only 3PP I have is Pathfinder.
