[QUOTE="Kzach, post: 4965995, member: 56189"] Whilst reading through the thread about the fansite policy it suddenly struck me that I don't care. For a minute there I was confused because with the dawn of the internet there was tons of 2e material to be had and 3e's arrival tied in nicely with internet proliferation so there was gazillions of sites and third-party material to be had. So I guess I had become used to it mattering to me. Thus it came as a minor shock when I suddenly realised that with 4e I just don't care that there aren't bunches of fan sites out there. This all comes back to something that has been a theme through a few of the threads I've started over the last month or so. That being the massive amount of material coming out of WotC for 4e. I just don't want for anything more. I'm barely able to keep up with WotC's offerings and with the Character Builder, I can make pretty much any concept of character I can think of. I do think it's a shame as the creativity pool has been reduced and I don't feel that's ever a good idea. I mean, without 3PP's we wouldn't have gotten some amazing products over the years. But then again, as long as the quality and quantity of material coming out of WotC remains consistent for at least another year or so, I doubt I'll ever need anything from anyone else. [/QUOTE]
