[QUOTE="Incenjucar, post: 1668754, member: 6182"] I, on the other hand, -am- an old guard PS player, albeit not the most experienced. Indeed, because of the diversity in our playing group (we played DS, FR, the occassional non-D&D game, some truly odd homebrews...) As such, we actually had a hard time getting around to Sigil (we mostly had the planar races in FR, ironically enough), but we all collected the materials for -reading- purposes. If I had never played a single D&D game in my life, I'd still have a whole collection of PS materials. As such, I'm a damned useful type of consumer -- the person who will buy something even when it's useless to them as a product, so long as it's on par with what they have enjoyed thus far. PS, as I have noticed, has a number of fans of this nature. That also means that mere rules conversions aren't going to sell to us unless we like what comes with it, because we already -have- the good stuff, or can get it on PDF. They've already failed to maintain my interest in the 3e FR, and while there's a rule or two in Eberron, I really don't care for the setting style. PS-related material is their best bet for my money. As it stands, the money I would have spent on a book is likely going to go towards sketch books, or maybe some PS PDFs, so I can at least get some mental stimulation out of my dollar. -- What's worse, I have a cousin who's in to LARPing, and another who's practically my student (I helped get him in to drawing, and later anime, and now he's twice as good as I'll ever be at it). I give him advice, and he follows it. I even left him my 3.0e MM to sketch from last I saw him. But as it stands, I cannot, with good conscious, aim him towards D&D, even though he could certainly use an ice breaker for college other than his guitars (did I mention that he has a good-paying job with his dad that could net him a D&D library rather easily?) But someone's design says no. [/QUOTE]
