It doesn't mean merging the games, but there is obviously some overlap.It's always hard to judge why there is no information before the information is out, so I don't see the antipathy.I have always found the product schedule for WotC to be available far in advance. Sure they don't post on message boards as much as some of them do, but they are generally forthright with what they're doing long in advance of when it's released. It's generally easy to know what you're getting in a WotC product before it's released.Since this is a reply to you, it might seem personal, but it's a more general observation. You're an irrelevant customer because it's an uphill battle with you, whereas you expect quality from Paizo or Green Ronin and they don't have to work as hard to catch your interest. This is displayed repeatedly on ENWorld by numerous threads about how some WotC material is broken without the folks ever having really looked over the stuff, or people condemning WotC because their release schedule descriptions don't meet expectations.WotC is not the Final Word of RPGs, but it is the most popular and the most prolific. Release dates are kept that are planned months in advance, material is generally excellent quality. None of this is apparent through watching the most vocal ENworld posters though.Realistically though, this is like video games. The Xbox has games I like, and are targeted at me, and I'd rather they keep making similar games to keep me entertained, rather than branch out to try to catch others and lose my interest.Lots of folks are nostalgic about Dragon magazine, but even the most ardent fan has to admit that the magazine changed greatly through the years. Hanging onto the idea because you liked what Paizo did with it is commendable, but hating WotC because it's been around for a long time, neglects what the market actually is. This is a bit of a show though, Dungeon might have been bringing folks to Paizo, rather than to D&D. Pathfinder is a better format for them, if that is true.</blockquote>
