[QUOTE="Maggan, post: 4852682, member: 6616"] Hey, it makes it difficult to respond to your posts if you keep editing them all the time! :D I'd say that there were several reasons. Let's pretend that I am Troll Lords. My reasoning would go like this: [I]"Hmmmm, we have C&C, and an established fan base. But people are talking about this OSRIC thing ... let's see. 1. It's not backed by another company. Both good (no competition from them) and bad (no one aggressively building brand value that I can benefit from). 2. Market potential. If I'm lucky, it seems as if I can sell 100 copies of the books. Doesn't sound so hot, we're doing a lot better with C&C, or at least not worse. 3. It was created under very special circumstances, by people knowledgeable in IP law, and they claim that it's legal. Also, if anyone gets sued, it won't be me, but them. Maybe. Hmmmm ... some question marks there as to what the legal situation is. I think it's no or little risk, but I can't be sure. 4. Not all old school fans love OSRIC. Some hate it, some love it. It doesn't seem to be the rallying banner of old school play that some people are hoping it to be. All in all, I think I'll pass. And those OSRIC people, they make my fans upset, so it seems like I'll have to ban OSRIC discussion on my boards as well. Why can't people just get along? Sigh ..."[/I] That seems more likely a scenario to me, than them being mean-spirited and scared of the potential competition. /M [/QUOTE]
