[QUOTE="Samurai, post: 253155, member: 3850"] I spend the great majority of my time at RPG.net precisely because it is the best general rpg site around. To be honest, I would probably spend more time here at EnWorld if it covered all RPGs instead of just d20, but I still doubt it could replace RPG.net in terms of the community atmosphere. That said, I think more and more, EnWorld will HAVE to cover other games! Dual-statting is becoming very popular, so games like L5R/Rokugan, Deadlands, Fading Suns, Godlike, SAS, and more will have both d20 and another system. If EnWorld wants to cover d20, they will by extention also report all news, upcoming books, reviews, etc for these games house systems too. You can try to exclude the other half of the books, and only talk about the d20 parts, but that may be rather silly and pointless, as we all know they are dual-statted. Many people talk about d20 being king because of all these companies jumping on the bandwagon, but one of the main reasons they are doing so is to increase visibility and the number of people taking a look at their house system! By throwing d20 stats in there, many d20 fans will buy the book and look at the original rules alongside the d20 versions. Some, they are hoping, will say "these look cool, lets try playing with the original system for once!" Maybe with some support and encouragement here on EnWorld for those and other systems, people will give more games a try and find that d20/ D&D is not the entire world of RPGs... [/QUOTE]
