Dicefreaks has some neat stuff.
I printed out their versions of ghost,
vampire, death knight templates due
to the level of thought put into them. |

| -Not any slight against WotC designers, or any other company that does D&D-ish things, but I think actual, dedicated, fan-made products always have more detail than their official counterparts. |

I've seen some really good third party material... The Monsternomicon volumes, for the 3.5 version of Iron Kingdoms, are in my opinion some of the best monster books we've had since 2E. Some of the Pathfinder monster stuff is really awesome, too, particularly the Revisited line.
I'm not contesting the quality of fan material; I'm just saying that there was some really good stuff out there, and some of it is better than fan-made stuff. |

-Personally, I think a lot of third-party material is fan stuff, just fan stuff with a higher budget! |

The two Monsternomicon volumes, as I see it, remain some of the best monster books in the entire history of role-playing games. |
