I'd think everyone on this list is well-used to crap coming from
established companies as well, so I don't think D20 will appreciably
alter the PERCENTAGE of junk that comes out on the market. Gaming
companies are as subject to Sturgeon's Law as everything else.
Historically, the _best_ gaming stuff seems to come from small gaming
companies that push quality over sales, and go down the toilet from it.
