[QUOTE="Keefe the Thief, post: 5990877, member: 49552"] This contains so much wrong i don't know where to start.... Since when is any of the above "Indie"? Paizo has a rock-hard mainstream business model, and the others... Bwuh. Adkinson is indie now? Open up the game for "non-commercial use" and then releasing all editions? Releasing how? Printing? As in, incurring major losses because you do not have a clue how much you'll make? POD? Pdf? And how are all those people that have been named (AND their companies) paid? Space Bucks? Rebrand their brands into D&D? Yeah, THAT is what brand creators REALLY want! And of course, the whole D&D crowd will be totally happy because "it's not D&D" has never been uttered about this kind of shovelware. Transfer all settings into all rules - welcome, 0D&D Dark Sun and Greyhawk - Skills & Powers Companion. While we're at it - who decides which rules systems do belong to "D&D"? I mean, do we let True 20 in but what about Star Wars Saga? No, this would not create continent-engulfing flamewars AT ALL. And of course comission work from all the "good old" authors and artists that left a big impression on certain products. Because we all agree who has been good and who has been bad, right? You heard it here first: 80s hair and chainmal spandex for EVERY SETTING. This is a pipe dream and a nightmare mixed together, and shows why fans should NEVER control D&D. No offense to the OP.
