Message: <blockquote data-quote="Reynard" data-source="post: 4447377" data-attributes="member: 467">Narrowing the scope of the game narrows your audience.  if someone who is interested simulation, for example, gives up on 4E early because 4E was designed around a different, singular playstyle, that person isn't invested in the game and won't be around when the "Simulationists' Handbook" comes out three years down the road.  So while they might have gotten the core book sales out of that person, they won't be getting any future sales out of that person.  Maybe core set sales are enough to sustain the game, but I doubt it.Of course, I have no idea (I doubt anyone does) what percentage of potential players/consumers expect or desire a play experience different than the one for which 4E was designed.  The number might be insignificant, at least in comparison to those that come to 4E specifically because of the playstyle for which it was designed.  Hopefully not, because if my playstyle preferences are insignificant (and therefore not economically viable to support) i don't play 4E, which means I don't get to enjoy being a part of the current commuity of the game I have been in love with for close to 25 years, and i don't get to play with my friends unless I take a hit to my personal "fun" in order to be with them.</blockquote>
