Well, they do - GTA members get progressively greater access to all
sorts of goods (take a look at
http://www.issaries.com/gta/gta_material.html for the current list).
Sure, it's not quite the same as buying each individual thing you
might like, but remember that each such transaction takes the one
resource Issaries has least of - time. The bottom line is, would you
rather Greg and Steve be spending their time editing the next book
or processing some $5 micropayment?
Take the map of Sartar - there are OKish ones about as is, enough to meet basic gaming needs. But Issaries also have Wesley's *very* pretty one which in due course will be published with the DP Gazzeteer. Unpublished fiction, drafts, etc - lots available to the higher-end GTA members.
All the best
