[QUOTE="ColonelHardisson, post: 417097, member: 363"] I've been thinking about companies like PEG, who seemed to get into d20 reluctantly. Matter of fact, PEG was probably the second established company - after Chaosium - which got into d20 in a very obviously reluctant way. To be frank, such companies might have been better off staying out of d20, because potential buyers of their products who catch wind to this reluctance may be put-off on buying their books. Those who don't catch wind beforehand may pick up one book, but get turned off to others in the line from the same company due to this air of reluctance. I simply don't trust a company to make the kind of effort necessary to ensure the highest quality of a product if they're doing it reluctantly. My point is that a lot of the guys grumbling that d20 wasn't the cash cow they hoped it would be were doomed to failure before they ever published a single book, due to their attitude. [/QUOTE]
