[QUOTE="Orcus, post: 4134263, member: 1254"] I dont often talk about my personal life. Its not that relevant. But I want to make something clear because I think alot of people discount the views of the third party publishers because we have a self interest. We want the license so we can make products. Sure, that is true to some degree with all publishers. But in my case, I dont really care so much about that. Necro is a hobby for me. I am a fan of D&D first. If Necro closed its doors tomorrow, I would hate to see that, but it really wouldnt impact me financially. I love running Necro, but I am not financially dependant on it. It feeds my ability to buy guitars, actually :) I am an attorney. I make comfortable six figure income and a big house and all the trimmings. I dont say that stuff to be a tool, or to brag or anything like that or to pretend I am better than anyone else. I'm not, I'm a gamer just like everyone here.
