I have yet to hear about a time when an indie film was up against a big budget movie and won. They aren't even shown in the same theaters. Granted, every once in a while a very well made Indie movie gains enough recognition, it sometimes gains popularity and gets widespread distribution, but that's pretty rare. Remember Memento? Great movie. I never saw that come to the local theater. Did you? What about Pi? There's a long list of great Indie movies that just never attained the same audience as even the most vapid waste of film Hollywood pumped out, like Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem.It is likely to be. The question is whether it will be a hit compared to 3E. Even if it bombs by Hasbro's standards, it will most likely far outsell anything that any of the smaller publishers release, unless they accompany their release with a massive marketing campaign that rivals WotC's. This is obviously unlikely since someone as big as Green Ronin considers $5K to be anything other than a trivial sum of money.</blockquote>
