[QUOTE="Eosin the Red, post: 4383121, member: 168"] Bully for GR and Paizo. I know that I continue to support both companies with my wallet. Both continue to garner fan respect if the ENNies are any indication. I haven't played D&D in a long time which makes me strangely suspicious of those who do not wish such fantastic companies well. What is it that makes folks believe they are abandoning their fan base just because they will no longer be putting out products for your chosen game system? What makes [B]YOU [/B]their target audience? Why isn't it their legions of fans, some of whom who buy M&M despite playing Hero? Who buy True20 just to see what they did? Or who eagerly await the Song of Ice and Fire System? How are those folks who buy pretty much everything based on a record of excellence being abandoned? I buy far less WotC product than I buy GR or Paizo. Heck, I am one of Paizo's ideal customers - I buy the Pathfinder supplements and some but not all of the modules. Us folk who don't do the D&D have nearly always purchased supplements from other systems. Who strait-jacketed the minds of those claiming that they can no longer use a supplement because it remains 3.5 or anything else for that matter? If D&D is so onerous that it cannot be adapted to subject matter why play it? I mean, if you can't adapt the Rise of the Rune Lords to 4E then surely you cannot adapt a great fantasy movie or a book that inspires you, can you? If you cannot use the ideas in Peril at Kings Landing how do you use the ideas inside your own skull? A system is not a rigid boundary to confine; it is a fluid tool allowing you to explore. So explore. [/QUOTE]
