"Real soon there's going to be a game that is more D&D than D&D and then WotC are going to feel the hurt!"It hasn't happened yet. Might it happen a few years down the line?No.The alternatives are up against a company with world-wide marketing reach, with distribution to book stores and gaming stores down pat, with an advertising budget that probably exceeds the total budget of the developers of OSRIC and C&C put together.I don't see D&D being in the least threatened by the likes of OSRIC or C&C.And if it were to be, I think WotC would be quick to react to this, releasing an official version of D&D that would directly compete with the alternatives. Heck, they might do that anyways, since basic versions of the game has been part of their strategy since forever.But I will concede that if WotC rests on its laurels, and think that the above advantages automatically guarantees the continued domincance of D&D without them working pro-actively to make it so, they might be in for a world of hurt.I have seen no indication that such a thing is happening. Other people think it's obvious that such a thing is happening. Only time will tell who's right./M</blockquote>
