[QUOTE="johnnype, post: 679490, member: 1944"] Fact: the Psionics message board on the Wizards website gets more posts than either Oriental Adventures, Manual of the Planes, Dieties and Demigods or the Epic Level Handbook. This is even though the PsiHB has been out longer than all of the other books. I only point this out because I get the feeling that many think that the idea of psionics is a waste of time. To some, perhaps. Then there are those who are dissapointed that this new setting might, MIGHT mind you, use psionics. I don't even know how to respond to this. All I can say is that you have a plethora of other published campaigns that do not. Do not get upset because they try to do something for those of us who do like psionics. As it is I can only think of 2 published (as in not PDF's) settings, Scarred Lands and Greyhawk, that use the system. Greyhawk doesn't even have supplements. The only way we know that it uses psionics is because it's assumed. The Scarred Lands only added it with the Relics and Rituals II supplement. Look at it from WotC point of view. How could they possibly give us a a setting that was "the same but different" than anything not already in print? There have been a lot of suggestions and we've read many of the rejected proposals on these and other boards but in the end they HAD to go with something significantly different. Psionics, IMO, is a good start. I ask nay sayers not to begruge us our desire for any and all things psionic. Most nay sayers do not understand how frustrating it is to like something so much but never have the right rules to use it. It's like having the holy grail within reach but having arms that are too short to grasp it. Give us our day in the sun and maybe we'll shut up already. Thanks for putting up with my rant. [/QUOTE]
