[QUOTE="Jaeger, post: 9295628, member: 27996"] I wouldn’t even begrudge D&D still being the market leader. I just think It would be nice if we went back to having a solid number two rpg that was fairly popular within the hobby, and that also wasn’t a D&D clone… The cost of competition is high, and our economy has fundamentally changed in the last thirty years as D&D has established its mega dominance. Much, much harder to do today than it was in the late 80’s, early 90’s… Your own two eyes were not lying to you. Back then VtM was the solid number two rpg. And gaming store shelves held a variety of rpgs beyond the big two. Nowadays if gaming stores have anything beyond D&D I’d be shocked if it wasn’t Pathfinder… It was the corporatization of the hobby. It stopped being about the love of gaming, and became all about promoting the house brand above all else… [/QUOTE]
