[QUOTE="Vigilance, post: 2622485, member: 4275"] Please believe me when I say I appreciate the kind words and that I am not trying to assert people on the other side of this issue don't have the right to disagree with me :) I was merely trying to dissuade you from making what I saw as a mistatement in the process of disagreeing with me (that there won't be a place for newcomers to get established). If you want to say the expansion is a bad idea because it will get less exposure, that's a conversation I think we'd both enjoy even though we know we dont agree :) On the issue of dissuading people from entering the market- Im not sure anyone who CAN BE dissuaded would take it seriously anyway. As I think back to what would have dissuaded me from dipping my toe in the pool, its hard for me to imagine. I was sending submissions to Mystic Eye, Mongoose, Bastion and Green Ronin; I was editing RPGObjects Darwin's World books; I was self publishing PDFs. All but the last two ended with me getting some form of a rejection letter or email (when I got a reply at all!) I was doing everything I could think of to get the attention *anyone* who I felt had a chance to give me a shot. So its hard for me to take seriously someone who would be put off by having to start at RPG edge as opposed to RPGNow. Chuck [/QUOTE]
