[QUOTE="Nikchick, post: 2683161, member: 344"] It was a simple statement, not boastful in the least. Mutants & Masterminds is the current market leader in supers roleplaying. I think it's disingenuous because you were comparing Pramas's completely relevant reference to his time spent at Wizards (not just as a designer but also as Brand Development Manager and a Creative Director) to jacked up claims that could be made by any random employee (say, the janitor). [b]You[/b] might puff yourself up if you were a janitor at WotC and try to trump yourself all over the message boards, but that's not what Pramas was doing and that's certainly what you're accusing him of. He wasn't even saying "Buy MY game, it's the awesomest!" He was stating a straight-forward opinion, and the reasoning behind his beliefs. Yes, well, since the second edition of Mutants & Masterminds has been in general release to the hobby market for all of two weeks, and is only reaching the book chains now, I hope you can forgive me for not being too terribly worried over your anecdote. I'll stick to going by the actual numbers. :D For all of the reasons that Pramas has already laid out, I don't think WotC's supers supplement for d20 Modern is a "threat" to Mutants & Masterminds. That's not a knock on the concept or the quality of the product, or some prediction of poor performance on WotC's part. It's no different that saying a "vampires" sourcebook for d20 Modern is no "threat" to Vampire:the Masquerade. [/QUOTE]
