Editing Lamentations of the Flame Princess (section)

== Why Do People Buy It? ==
It has really good supplements.

No, that's pretty much it.  While the modules tend towards garbage, the settings therein have a lot of interesting ideas behind them, with a good mixture of gonzo and grim.  ''Vornheim'' and its anachronistic spires and gangland battles across a vertical playground.  ''A Red and Pleasant Land'' with its confusing, macabre four way war between vampiric nobility on a giant chess board in the dreaming lands that may or may not be dreaming of you, maybe.  ''Veins of the Earth'''s take on the [[Underdark]], where player characters will trade legendary artifacts that whole campaigns could be based around for moldy bread and a half used candle. And for all his faults as a human being and a designer, Raggi the businessman has some generous-ass terms for both third-party publishing and any authors willing to print with him.

Additionally while Lamentation may not be the [[D20 system]] it is darn close to it. Same system of rolling a D20 and trying to get over the result. These means that if you were mad enough to try and work some of the setting ideas, you can fairly easily run it with a traditional D&D system even converting some of the actual creatures to D&D, though it would take a bit of eye balling the stats to get something roughly similar and playable.  

Between that, the high production quality of the printed versions, and the massive amounts of system neutral tables for generating your own weird shit, ''Lamentations'' limps on.
