Message: <blockquote data-quote="SneakyB" data-source="post: 997304" data-attributes="member: 2219">I fail to see how Arcana Unearthed (or any other Malhavoc product for that matter) is threatened by 3.5.  All of the products that have been published and are to be published should integrate fine into your game regardless of whether or not you are running 3.0 or 3.5.  As with any product to supplement this game, you usually need to refine it further to fit into the specifics of your particular campaign.  I guess what bothers me about your statement is that you seem to feel that Monte is unfairly critical of the product due to what YOU perceive as a threat to his well-being.  I don't see that, nor, based on what I've read from Monte so far does it appear that he feels "threatened".Again, I respectfully disagree.  I think his opinion, and "insider knowledge" offer keen insight into the decisions made to release 3.5 as early as it was.  Coupled with his background into the "how's and why's" in the 3.0 design, it further validates his perspectives.  Personally speaking, I think pretty highly of Monte, the job he does, and the quality of work his imprint puts out.  I also have a great deal of respect for his integrity, and, to me, this is proven by him laying the foundations of his criticisms before examining, in detail, issues that he feels were not handled properly.Bottom line, for me, at least is that while I have pre-ordered 3.5, I can already see a number of rules that will be house-ruled back to the way they were.  But that's just me.  My campaign, my decision.  Everyone out there is free to pick and choose what they like and implement it or fall back to Rule 0.Dan</blockquote>
