[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 262008, member: 2205"] [i][/i][color=silver][/color] This doesn't make any sense. Either you're extinct or you're not. You don't go extinct over and over again. RPGs never went extinct. D&D never went extinct. I'm not paying attention to anyone who wants to "warn" me that they will in the future, as I think that warnings not worth a... well, a hill of beans. This thread has, ignoring the brief communism tangent, been way to alarmist for my tastes. I simply don't buy it. And for that matter, I'm not sure I should be concerned. I have enough crunch already, although I'm more likely to buy crunch than fluff if I see something that I really like (I want to buy the Sovereign Stone magic system, for example, but that's all I want from the Sovereign Stone Campaign setting at this point) while fluff I can do without. But I recognize that because I prefer to homebrew, that makes me different from some others that don't, and really need the fluff in order to play. But if that's the case, that'll shake out too. If Silver Marches doesn't sell as well as hoped, and the next book is all crunch again, and everyone gets tired of crunch and it doesn't sell either, someone will finally figure out that the crunch-fluff dichotomy is really only one aspect of what causes a book to sell rather than the be-all end-all. I'd just as soon keep buying d20 stuff I like from smaller companies, though. As long as 4e isn't right around the corner so we have to all go buy all this stuff again, or else not have a player base. [/QUOTE]
