[QUOTE="Stoutstien, post: 9015977, member: 7020569"] Settings transcend system which is the entire point by looking at a single system publication of official content for it is a pointless metric. The fact that many fans are looking at the author rather than the publisher is a very strong indication of the presence of that setting rather than other factors like availability price or timing. Or poll stat manipulation by just buying your own product. That's why he's saying such and such the best selling book is a pointless title because the majority of them are just bought why a single company or entity. Anyone can be a best-selling author with a little bit of money. They might own the intellectual rights to the system but because they didn't create it nor are they going to continue the relationship with those who did we'll see how many "unofficial" conversion start popping up for different systems compared to interest in the inevitable publication they're going to make as they introduce their anniversary edition. This is already started happening as the latest generation of players are registering higher interest in different systems. The DND section in local stores or even big book stores is shrinking but the section of the entire genre is growing. So all we have to do is wait for the inevitable reprint or campaign published by wizard set in a certain setting that no longer has the input of the original author and we'll see how it does. Especially since they refuse to actually come up with a new setting they're going to reprint something. [/QUOTE]
