[QUOTE="Felix, post: 4425806, member: 3929"] No doubt. But it doesn't mean people aren't making them and turning them into internet vitriol. Paizo is trying to sustain a former standard; to keep people from converting by producing a quality product using a system people are familiar with. Wizards is trying to sell a new system and establish it as the new standard. Many gamers will be confronted with the choice to convert or not. Do I go with Paizo so I can still consistently use the 30 books I bought for 3e? Do I go with D&D and its offerings of online support and streamlined gameplay? And yeah, you'll get some Coke-drinkers who won't eat at a resturant with a Pepsi soda fountain; I suspect that they are the minority. The rest are those Paizo, WotC, GR, et al are competing over. Paizo may not be trying to become the new standard, but they want as large a customer base as they can affordably keep. And Republican candidates don't try to court the folks way out on the left in the same way Democratic candidates don't try to court the folks way out on the right. It doesn't mean they aren't going to compete tooth and nail over the folks who are still considering their options. [/QUOTE]
