[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 4970784, member: 221"] I only mention Farscape by way of example. RE I.C.E. I see they are still there. For some reason I thought someone else had bought them out or they had stopped publishing. (The Last I.C.E. product I bought was in the mid eighties.) I agree that Paizo's success is recent and I mentioned that their fan-license is recent too. Strangely though WotC has been big for much longer and Paizo released their's first IIRC. Paizo however has a very active fan base at the moment. I view Chaosium and SJG as big boys in the hobby because while they may not sell as much as others they have devoted bases who are well established. As to your point as to others selling more, that may be so, but I would be interested in knowing where you get your figures. And I did offer invites into suggestions as to which companies deserve to be in the top five. As to moving the goal posts. Please. I said quite plainly that if you are making an open statement which includes every little RPG publisher ever, "what is your point?" Its true that most RPG companies don't have one. I acknowledge its true. But it proves nothing one way or another as most RPG companies dont [I]need [/I]a policy. They simply aren't well known enough. Its, to borrow a phrase, a strawman. Of the ones who need a policy, how many have one or don't? [/QUOTE]
