[QUOTE="Dr. Harry, post: 1138516, member: 5468"] WotC, as the ones who own the D&D system, and have the largest economic stake in the present and future viability of D&D have brought D&D in line with their other licenced properties. This does not mean that WotC has reservations about material "outside the lines", per se, but that since material that plays fast and loose with the lines has the greatest chance of triggering a reaction that does harm to the D&D brand, and financial harm to WotC. If anyone is going to take the risk, it should be WotC themselves. P.S. Realizing that people posting write hastily, I don't it's necessarily fair or helpful to critque the grammar of posts (such as 'too' where 'to' should be - though misspelling 'deity' as 'diety' does admittedly bug me since it seems to be common), but in a press release using "affective" when it should be "effective" is just plain sloppy. It's almost enough to make me believe that the original press release was a smeg-up, and not crafted specifically as a publicity stunt to be retreated from later ... no, actually, it is not enough to make me change that thought. :) Harry L [/QUOTE]
