[QUOTE="Jürgen Hubert, post: 3368563, member: 7177"] Yes... V e r y s l o w l y . . . You have to understand that most publishers of RPG books do not do so because they like to get a profit. They do so because they really like RPGs. Almost all such people could earn more money if they spent the time they invest in this into other matters. Yet they continue to do this because they enjoy the creative process. The biggest companies - WotC, SJG, White Wolf and a couple of others - also make good business decisions when it comes to creating game books. And few of these produce systemless books. SJG has tried it with the "Suppressed Transmissions" books, but they didn't sell well enough for further sequels. Now Green Ronin also tries the same with Freeport. We will see how this works out for them, but I am not holding my breath. Systems sell, and so do books linked to a hot-selling system such as D&D. [/QUOTE]
