[QUOTE="timbannock, post: 8888115, member: 17913"] So much this! Having bigger companies like KP (and perhaps Paizo) with resources to spare putting out brand new games might actually lead to the best possible scenario: D&D no longer being synonymous with RPG, and also several very well-produced, slick looking games that are well supported across all the VTTs, Demiplanes, etc. How many people really die on the hill of "I'll only play Monopoly at game night. Star Wars Monopoly, Mario Monopoly, whatever...it's just gotta be monopoly." That's the world TTRPGs have been living in for 50 years and it's really old. At the very least we are living in an age where it is easier to find other gamers who might have similar tastes. You are online talking about this, after all. And if the big 3PP companies start pushing out really slick, well-produced games of their own, with support across the VTTs and Demiplanes and so on of the world, maybe your players will come around to the idea of trying new stuff? I bet there's something to be said about new games solving the GM problem. If anybody can do that, well, it's never been WOTC, but it quite possibly might be a rededicated KP, Paizo, Monte Cook, etc. working on their own games. [/QUOTE]
