[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 3630312, member: 18182"] Dude, your arguments just make no sense. Paranoid much? Advertising a new ROLEPLAYING GAME in an article about upcoming ROLEPLAYING GAMES is perfectly reasonable. It's EXACTLY like purchasing a new plasma and getting ads for other electronic products (like a blu-ray player) from the same company. And as others have pointed out, yes WotC has previewed their non-D&D d20 rpgs in their previews section before . . . . . there just hasn't been a non-D&D rpg to preview in a long time! So a lot of people (who?) think True20 should be the next D&D and WotC isn't "shoving" that down our throats? Maybe because True20 is a Green Ronin product and not a WotC one? Just maybe. What WotC is "saying" is really quite simple, "Hey, if you like D&D roleplaying products we'd love for you to take a look at our other roleplaying products, such as this nifty new Star Wars game here. Why? Well, duh, because we want to sell as many of them as possible, being as we're a business and all that silly stuff! Plus we're rather proud of it and think you just might like it if you are a roleplayer and a Star Wars fan!" Sheesh. I gotta stop reading this thread! All this RPG hobby conspiracy crap just makes my head spin! [/QUOTE]
