Even if the system is Paranoia? That sounds like a quick way to lose a couple clones. ;)

No, not someone... ME. I choose to not give a crap about what any company does beyond what they produce that I wish to purchase. If I see something I wish to buy, I will buy it. If I do not wish to buy it, I won't. If you prefer to spend your time checking out the bona fides of every company...

It's more efficient than waiting for someone else to make what you want for you. ;)

I will go to my grave thinking that 'Moistened Bink' is the greatest non-Star Wars Star Wars character name ever created. :D

Absolutely. A former King's lost sword is way more important regardless of what the mechanical bonuses are on it. If I get that sword, then my character has a potential "in" with the royal family down the line. That's way more important to the campaign than a +1 attack and damage bonus.

I would find more interest in the story surrounding the magical weapon. Whose weapon originally was it? Who are the people who gave me the rumor that it was there? What is the location it is found and what is its history? What might be defending the weapon? Basically what @J-H said in their...

And that's a perfectly acceptable way of choosing to live your life. I choose to live my life differently. I choose to not divide the things I use in my life between those that are acceptable to come from crappy companies because they are "necessities", and things that are not acceptable to...

Of course not. But that's no different than me who doesn't care about a company's crappy behavior. Everyone can decide for themselves. But the only reason we've been on this tangent in the first place is because someone questioned me about it and then a new person keeps asking or commenting...

I would imagine @ezo just doesn't want to bother with it. Rightly OR wrongly. But that doesn't even matter because they can choose to not use 3PP AND still be saddened that WotC isn't going to produce product they want. But if they've accepted that reality... that's pretty much all that needs...

It's just ego. People don't like having to acknowledge they are not the one being catered to.

Only so much as what they are comfortable with. Even if WotC is potentially misreading the market and that they could make some money on smaller projects from previous editions... if they are happy with what their current product is giving them, then they might not feel the need to take the...

Presuming they are using the standard CoS special rules... Barovia is covered completely by cloud cover that creates a continuous 'dusk'-like atmosphere, allowing Strahd to leave his castle whenever he wants.

At the end of the day... if a person has a very specific way they want their roleplaying game to be which cannot be satisfied by someone else's product... making it themselves is the best and most efficient way to do so. Only downside of course is that the circle of players willing to play that...

Yep, they ignore you, that is true. Presumably because there aren't enough of you willing to purchase enough material for WotC to warrant spending the time and money and manpower to produce it. Which of course is why they allow 3rd party producers to provide you material you all might want...

This is very true... but at the same time we live in an age where you can search and find this information so freaking easily that you have to willingly choose to remain ignorant if you can't determine or search out what most of this jargon is. I mean even if they didn't want to google it... at...

Thus far since the early fall of 5E24's releases there have been far less threads about Keyword usage confusing/irritating people than there were a decade ago from people confused/irritated by the Natural Language found in 5E14. So while both styles will have their detractors of course... the...

And have you stopped using products from all of them? No EA games? No Google search or YouTube? No Amazon shopping? No clothing from Target or Walmart? No products that say 'Made In China' at all? If you've given up all of those things and only buy from made-in-America, organic, small...

I have no idea. For all I know things produced in China could done by people right now that might as well be considered slave labor if their pay is that bad, and yet I buy stuff that gets made in China all the time. But I have not looked into any of it, nor do I ever plan on looking into it...

In this particular case... making game purchases from a game company... I do only care about myself. What other people choose to do or not do with their money is their business, not mine.

Well, you aren't me.
