[QUOTE="Zoycitenega, post: 3726453, member: 53120"] Not name calling. Commentary. I would say this in real life, and it would probably loose me a potential friend. I'm ok with that. In your original post, you made it apear as if you think that all D&D products should be only for D&D players, and not for the mainstream or potential players. This would generally mean you think that only a few people should give it a try. I, at least, consider this elitism. What sort of player, if you don't mind me asking. This is not meant to be snide, as I'm sure it sounds, I'm just not sure I understand you. I don't play the minis game, so I have no real response to this. Yes, that is the difference of running WoTC like a company rather than a fan club. WotC is a buissness, and it is out to earn money. There are a few of the complete books I don't care for. I don't own them. However, I've found that most of the non-module books published by WotC are pretty good. Whether they are brought about by deadline-geared workers or people who only publish their very best, I am happy to hand over my money for a truly spectacular book. [/QUOTE]
