Spycraft is just like Dragonstar and Judge Dredd.  It won't find widespread support among third party publishers, and will eventually be beaten by the competition that does find that support.  I would make the exact same criticism of Dragonstar and Judge Dred, only I don't need to. Nobody is even talking about those two games much anymore.The big difference in our two positions, I think, is that AEG COULD allow third party publishers to put out products for their system, but decided to go the stand alone route instead by not allowing third parties to publish products explicitly for use with their system without extensive negotiation.  The stand alone route can make you money, but it's a risky path to take to begin with. It becomes far more risky when there is competition that is NOT stand alone, and one that uses your same core rules set (d20).  We are not talking d20 as windows to Spycrafts Neverwinter Nights.  We are talking d20M compared to Spycraft, both of them software that fit on the same d20 platform, except that anyone is allowed to make applications to work with d20M, while Spycraft is proprietary.</blockquote>
