Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dragonblade" data-source="post: 2682865" data-attributes="member: 2804">My local Barnes and Noble has a huge d20 section that rivals any FLGS. They carry all d20 Modern stuff, but they also stock M&M as well.d20 Supers will sell well simply because of the WotC name. And maybe as well as M&M. But the fact is the M&M fan base is pretty fanatically loyal to M&M. I don't see a single M&M player ever dumping M&M for d20 Supers. I do see the possibility of a short sales downturn as d20 Supers enters the market and the money conscious gamer has to make an either/or decision of which product to buy. However, this won't happen for at least 6 months until d20 Supers hits the market and by then M&M 2e will have pretty much sold through to the core supers RPG fan base anyway.What I do see happening is WotC fans who never realized that M&M existed getting d20 Supers. Some of those fans will love it and be happy and content in their little d20 Modern Universe, never questioning whether an alternative exists. But some of those fans will eventually seek out other d20 super support. Many of them will discover and convert to M&M.So I see the release of d20 Supers not only selling well for WotC, but also actually driving sales of M&M in the long run. I think this is ultimately a positive for Green Ronin.Furthermore, if the DC supers game from Black Inudstries comes out and uses the M&M ruleset, than I see total combined sales of M&M and DC Supers easily outselling d20 Supers. Hopefully, Green Ronin's deal with Black Industries allows them to retain a percentage of sales and is not a flat payment.</blockquote>
