[QUOTE="Nathanael, post: 306738, member: 5784"] Actually, the fact that they didn't resort to a C&D order and just asked that non-SRD material be taken out irritates me even more. They don't want to look like the bad guys and hurt sales, so they subtley hobbled the competition to make themselves look friendly and force consumers to purchase ETools simultaneously. Seriously, I don't think the community is fooled by these tactics. And as has been said multiple times, to deny us the right to use said material and not provide an alternative is not only lazy, but will only lead to the community resentment. I swear, monkeys could run a better business... As for campaigns, I, too, feel that limiting my players to the three core books is a creative straightjacket. I have had some interesting PC's in my game: a Githzerai Monk, a Halfling 'Sherlock Holmes' type investigator and a Shugenja Diplomat from the Far West brought to the East by a Marco Polo type Rogue/Ranger/Royal Explorer.
