For others, it is a success.More than likely. Diminishing returns, blahblahblah. (Not to dismiss the argument as being insignificant, but it has been beaten to death so many times that I don't think that it is really worth it to go down that rabbit hole.) When you boil everything down to the basics, the people in charge of D&D at WotC decided that it was time for a change. Whether it was a good decision or a bad decision will be one that we are too close to (in terms of time) to determine. However, when considering whether it is good or not, I think that it is important to also look at the impact of the change on other companies who were in the right place at the right time with the right expertise to take advantage of that change. (cough*Paizo*cough*)For example, if WotC *had* decided to stay with 3.X, would Paizo have the same importance in the RPG sphere as it does now?It's refreshing, actually. A discussion where both people are actually discussing as opposed to insulting and/or setting up straw men to attack.</blockquote>
