Message: <blockquote data-quote="DPGDarrin" data-source="post: 303134" data-attributes="member: 4949">Exactly my point... except that Green Ronin uses a lot of freelancers from WotC.In many ways this reminds me of the debate from the last couple summer Olympics games. Supposedly the Olympics are for yet-to-be professional athletes, yet the basketball team looks more like an all star NBA team. When they cream all the other countries that don't have professional leagues, can't afford to recruit quality athletes, or don't have the knowledge to train younger athletes, we puff our chests out and brag about how awesome we are. Of course no one said that the Ennies were for up and coming talent... sigh.An idea. There is a distinct difference between D20 products and D&D products. Under D&D, we have the official WotC stuff, and the Kingdoms of Kalamar stuff. In addition to this there are WotC licensed settings like Ravenloft and soon Dragonlance. The official D&D licensed worlds are held by larger, more established companies for the most part. Why not seperate the categories between D&D and D20 (having the worlds that have been licensed out by WotC count in this category)? Then, in addition to this, make it so that a smaller publisher can choose to enter into the higher category. I can see why Green Ronin or Malhavoc Press would choose to do this. Setting it up in this way would be similar to boxing. You have the heavyweights and the lightweights, but in this case the lightweights could choose to go up against the heavyweights. Yes, this would still put D20 companies against White Wolf, but I think that might be a little more of a fair match.</blockquote>
