You want to write a Spider-Man comic?  Then you'll have to do it by Marvel's rules or they'll sue you as soon as it sees light.  Why?  Because Marvel owns Spider-Man!  But if tomorrow Marvel decides no more Spider-Man, then that's their choice.Now going back to gaming.  Rather than complain about your favorite setting not getting enough love, I've seen plenty of people pour their creativity in creating new PrCs, spells or new storylines to get what they want from the game.  For those whiners - stop complaining and start putting your creative hats on!  The tools are all there in front of you.  The only difference between you and Keith Baker is at the end of the day he draws a paycheck from WoTC, while you have the love and admiration of your players for making an excellent adventure come to life!</blockquote>
