Message: <blockquote data-quote="GregoryOatmeal" data-source="post: 5700456" data-attributes="member: 6667661">I can't recall meeting anyone that has played 3.0 since 3.5 came out (as in barring 3.5 resources and mandating only 3.0 books) and I see 3.0 content used in 3.5 all the time so I don't think this is really an issue for people. No one produces 3.0 content now and there's never been a 3.0 retroclone. So the 3.0/3.5 thing is just hard to swallow. It does happen with 3.5/PF but I can not imagine most DMs would shy away from running a PF adventure in 3.5 or vice versa. Especially PF DMs that have strong roots in 3.5 and know the system - for them their is no leap back to 3.5.WotC has unique IP and strong brand identity (the D&D 3.5 brand. I've seen PF advertisements that declare "3.5 thrives") so Paizo is playing in their home court. Some gamers don't buy 3pp and still consider Paizo to be 3rd party "off-brand". Lots of this demographic stopped buying gaming products entirely when 4E came out. It's just weird how strong the D&D 3.5 brand when it doesn't actually see any first party support.Again, optional supplements produced at minimal price in digital format to expand the audience.Small gestures like providing 3.5 content would go a long way towards healing those wounds. Most of those gamers are on a WOTC boycott simply because they stopped producing 3.5 content in favor of 4E.Increased sales and recovering lost brand identity would offset production costs. And how would recovering a demographic lose sales???</blockquote>
