Message: <blockquote data-quote="DaveMage" data-source="post: 4833362" data-attributes="member: 10447">Here's the biggest problem with this:  WotC both changes people too much (over time) and seems to have way too many cooks in the kitchen making these decisions.  The people making decisions today may not even be there tomorrow.  Scott may be the perfect champion for what you want, Clark.  But he also may be working somewhere else tomorrow (or win Powerball or something).  If he's the only champion on the business side, forget any hope of Wizards being the inclusive D&D producer.  No, D&D needs to be in the hands of a company just big enough to handle it, but not too big that its corporate bureaucracy gets in the way of doing what's both best equally for the bottom line *and* the game.  (And maybe even favoring the game now and again.)Since that's not likely to happen anytime soon, many of us are looking for other alternatives - whether it's old school stuff like Swords & Wizardry, or the evolution of 3.5 in Pathfinder, which is what many see as the continuation of D&D - just without the brand name.</blockquote>
