But I said that a couple times too. Don't want to do RL? License it to Onyx Path! Spelljammer is too niche? Let's see if Kobold Press would want to pick it up! You could find reasons to not do basically anything in any other way they currently doing but it doesn't make their method the one true way. And again that something is making more money doesn't mean it is a better, or a more interesting rpg product. sorry, I'm not an employee of them, if they don't make books that I'm interested in, then i don't care how much people plays their current storyline. Aside from that you likely just strengthened the notion that I won't get anything that interests me from WotC, because it's "too niche". It's exactly the problem with big companies. After a point they won't do anything that is "niche".I don't say they won't do material, or use the DMsG in more active ways, or do outsourcing in the future. I hope they will, but right now they just not. Also, I'm still not saying their adventures are bad, regardless of how i like CoS's take on RL. It's just not enough as setting material and aside from PotA neither of them has any significant thematic player options. OotA is not enough as an Underdark supplement, SKT is not enough as a North Faerun book, CoS is definitely not enough as a RL book. Also, I don't want to pick together a setting from 10 different 250+ pages adventure book. Even the APs with setting material+supplements model is could be done much better, Paizo proved that.  I know someone will bring up the old material, but we're just running in circles at this point. The old material is not compatible, not updated for the system and not advanced in lore. I think it's their job to update their settings and the settings thematic classes/prcs, monsters, rules, etc, not mine. As far as I'm aware the adventures not related to the current storyline are on the DMsG.</blockquote>
