Message: <blockquote data-quote="Henry" data-source="post: 1451158" data-attributes="member: 158">To Gray Mouser's reply I'll add a couple of thoughts:Actually there ISN'T more than one could ever use; if a person has been playing 1E assiduously, and staying away from 3E and only picking the choicest parts of 2E, there IS a limited pool of material, and after 30 years of play the well would start to look pretty dry. In 3E territory, we're pretty spoiled by both WotC and 3rd party small publishers drowning us in product to pick and choose from, and even following Godwin's Law, 20% of nigh-infinity is still nigh-infinity. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />There is a pool of people who want to see fresh material VERY close to the 1E ruleset, and count Hackmaster as good, but NOT close enough to 1E. Plus, Hackmaster is only publishable by Kenzerco; C&C will at its heart be OGL, meaning that many compatible things can be published with it. At the VERY least, C&C will be the choice ground through which Gary Gygax and Rob Kuntz can published the "official" Castle Greyhawk that many fans have been waiting for about 25 years for.So, there is a pool of people wanting new 1E compatible material; and Troll Lords is gambling that this pool of disenfranchised gamers is large enough to stake a commercial game on. Time will tell.</blockquote>
