[QUOTE="Vocenoctum, post: 3683094, member: 2477"] I really doubt it. Some felt slighted by the change to 3.5, but mostly it was due to the over abundance of d20 crap and the sinking sales to distributors because of that. Heck, the way most D20 companies managed the 3.5 changeover (quite badly, with products that were half converted) probably drove off as many buyers as anything. Make no mistake, if D20 sales were still there, folks would be doing D20, regardless of the D20 License. It's worth noting not only that the BoEF was the main focus, but also that the change did not prevent the BoEF from being published anyway. A better way to look at it is the change from the "gentleman's SRD" to the Real SRD. WotC didn't punish folks for it, and illithid books were released after they were removed. WotC is about protecting themselves, not attacking others, and it generally shows in their handling of matters. [/QUOTE]
