[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9066217, member: 7006"] See, I don't agree. It's not just WotC who wants Dungeons & Dragons to be the flagship for everyone... all the people who play it want it that way too. And there will always be people who feel like the game does not go far enough to truly represent the player base that wants it to be. And no... 'D&D East' could easily be just as good a game as 'D&D West' (if not better) and still not be as popular-- the quality of the game would not be the sole factor in this. More likely it would be two-fold... the languages and countries it got printed and released in, and the fantasy world representations of both and the audience sizes and expectations for them. If these two books were released in the same way D&D books get released right now... 50 years of D&D players would come to the table expecting Euro-medieval fantasy and not Eastern fantasy... so odds I think are good that if you put both books side-by-side any 'D&D West' would outsell 'D&D East' through no fault other than people's expectations and the numbers/locations available for purchase.
