[QUOTE="billd91, post: 8308403, member: 3400"] I can see where you're coming from to a certain degree. When everyone talks about or all the stores carry the 800 lb gorilla, it's hard to know there's an alternative or where to get it. Believe me, as an Apple user from the old Apple II days and then through the ups and downs of the Macintosh market, I know what it's like to not be able to find products that aren't created for the 800 lb gorilla (Microsoft operating systems). In the years before Apple stores and the internet, finding Mac software on shelves was hard - you generally went through mail order catalogs. And if you didn't get on their mailing list, good luck even knowing they were out there. So, yeah, I get that kind of challenge. Fortunately, the environment really is different now. It's so much easier to learn about and find other games with some basic internet searches compared to previous decades even with D&D being as big as it is in the marketplace. So players interested in an alternative can find them easier - though finding like-minded players may still be as hard. [/QUOTE]
