[QUOTE="MichaelSomething, post: 4352356, member: 51168"] Any company that does have the power to compete with D&D will not. It simply isn't profitable. Fighting WOTC for the RPG market is like shooting a guy to get his IPod. Despite the fact that you may not like WOTC, they rule the RPG market. It's not like some guy is gonna produce a new game system from his basement that is better then D&D. Even if he does so, how is he gonna market it? How is he gonna get it into the hands of players? How will he convince them it's worth playing? Instead of hoping for some miracle system, why not consider things already out there? GURPS is a great example of a thriving system. Note that Steve Jackson Games also makes most of its money via a card game. Paizo and Pathfinder may be what your looking for. If the stars align just right, they could become a rival to WOTC some day. [/QUOTE]
