[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8935072, member: 6915329"] See, here's where you're talking about magic again. The [I]reason [/I]I don't buy a book is immaterial to WotC or to the 3pp. I [I]didn't want [/I]to buy Dragonlance, I [I]won't[/I] buy Planescape; in both cases, WotC gets no money from me, and in both cases, there was a smaller market for the books. You haven't yet shown how there's any sort of [I]actual [/I]correlation between my motivation for not buying a book and any harm brought to 3pp creators, beyond "because I say so." Well, I didn't buy it since then, of course; I bought it when it came out. But this still completely fails to follow. I didn't buy a single 3pp Ravenloft material connected to it. I have [I]never [/I]bought any 3pp material for Ravenloft. Therefore, I have not supported any 3pp. So have I been harmful to 3pp creators? I have to ask: do you actually think that all or most people who buy WotC books also buy 3pp material for it? It's entirely relevant. You aren't supporting a 3pp creator. Therefore, you are harming them. Unless somehow [I]my [/I]motivations are the only ones that matter, or that 3pp creators who create material for WotC are the only ones who matter and you think all other game companies can go hang. Not at all. Because you still seem to think my motivation actually matters here. And you know what? Those 3pp that are so "harmed" by me can maybe start thinking about producing material for other systems, or producing original 5e-compatible material instead of tie-ins. [/QUOTE]
