I agree that if this was the case, it would have a minor effect but as the settings produced for 4e have little continuing support I think it hard to gauge what effect if any there is in reality. What works for Paizo would not necessarily work for WotC and vice versa I suppose.The OP had an idea and expressed it with care and consideration for people to ponder and discuss (even if almost everyone has disagreed with it). I think it is safe to say that any game could fit into the premise of "not as popular as it could have been", even if there is only a small gap between its popularity and it's possible popularity. And even then with the extreme difficulty of even measuring such a gap, are such metrics truly mandatory for discussion on EN World?So anyway, I think it safe to put the OP's post into the "spitballing" category rather than the "clear cheap shot" variety that you seem to indicate. Do you think 4e is/was as popular as it could have been? What is your opinion? Or is the topic of discussion of no interest to you and thus not worth your while posting to?Best RegardsHerremann the Wise</blockquote>
