[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 5498888, member: 67338"] First I have to laugh at the idea that the suprme court would hear a case about RPGs.... Ok but Jokeing aside I think 3pp need to really step up there quality control... I suck at balance mechanics and am purely amature, and I can see huge flaws in some. I think I read from amethyst that there playtesters did not understand there ranged defender, then was shocked to hea they blamed the tester not he class. Then mongoose had some huge balance issues Most people I know are very wary of third parties today. If wotc could control the quality more and 3rd parties paid for the license that would help Edit: as long as this parties run the gambit from "better then wotc" to "bad fan work on the board is better" wotc has no reason to trust an open license won't hurt the overall game... As a test go find 5 3.5 players and tell them to daw up 5th level characters but each using rules from different third party books... Then tell me how the game goes. Bonus points if you allow other d20 products like non standard fantasy books [/QUOTE]
