[QUOTE="(un)reason, post: 6000235, member: 27780"] [B][U]Dragon annual 2001 [/U][/B] part 2/7 Unsurprisingly, our first advert is by Sword & Sorcery, White Wolf's d20 imprint. Even the number 2 guys got to benefit from this, and provide us with several interesting d20 settings along the way. A rising tide lifts all ships, or something along those lines. :) First watch: Our previews for this special are pretty big names. Call of Cthulhu, and George R.R Martin's Wild Cards series are getting d20 conversions. Both get nice big descriptive blurbs which do their best to sell you on them. Interestingly, one is written by Monte Cook, and the other by Mike Mearls, reminding us how important they are to d20 in general, and how often they'll be showing up over the next decade. CoC gets particular attention, because people are unsure how well it's suited to the d20 system, so they obviously think it'll be a harder sell to the public. It certainly hasn't had the longevity or number of supplements of the BRP version. In addition to this, they also promote the new incarnation of Polyhedron, now merged with Dungeon and repurposed to cover d20 games, with a different minigame in each issue. On it's own it never had the popularity of Dragon or Dungeon. How long will it survive like this? After all, I remember all too well the fate of previous mergers. It's another sign of WotC cutting down on everything but the biggest sellers, and leaving everything else to other companies. Oh well, it'll be another few years at least before it falls victim to the next big shakeup. [/QUOTE]
