[QUOTE="Jer, post: 8551399, member: 19857"] I don't think this is true at all. Many licensed RPGs are made by people who love the property and want to do more with it. They're the gaming equivalent of fan fiction in many ways - the fact that they can get approval from the license owners means they can make money off of it and make a sustainable game out of it, but that doesn't meant they don't love the property. Some licensed RPGs are cash grabs - and they tend to be obvious ones. Look at the licensed games that West End Games produced under the Masterbook game line in the 90s to see what actual soulless cashgrab licenses look like. Cubicle 7's Doctor Who and One Ring licenses are nothing like those (nor are some other recent licensed games from other companies I could name - like the Alien game from Free League). [/QUOTE]
