[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 6308910, member: 58197"] You make it sound like Mongoose is sneaking into gaming stores in the dead of night to put crappy products on the shelves. If the owner of the game store wants to sell Mongoose stuff, that's his or her decision. Same goes for online stores. Wizards of the Coast can and should have tight standards for what they themselves publish, and for what they put their stamp of approval on. They should not, however, be in the business of policing the entire third-party market. I can well understand only wanting to buy vetted products of professional quality, but all you have to do for that is stick to the publishers you know and trust. Some folks are more adventurous, and those folks should be allowed the freedom to explore. Sometimes they come back with things the rest of us might never have found. And given how often "vetted product of professional quality" turns out to mean "boring hackfest in a shiny cover," it ill behooves WotC to get too high-handed with the amateur division. I've heard their adventure quality has improved a lot since the early 4E days, but as far as I'm concerned, they've got a ways to go yet before they rehabilitate their reputation on that front. Don't even get me started on their electronic offerings. [/QUOTE]
