Then comes Early adaptors, the people that buy it, try it and like it... and in this case review it so others will also try it. Then comes the Early Majority, these in rpgs are people that would have stayed but are just moving because they heard good things and are part of the crowd...now comes the rub. Every other edition hit this point and had no one putting new books out. If you stay with an old edition at this point you are going with no new products, no support and as time goes on less and less community. One thing was different at this stage though, not only was there a company proudly thumping the edition war but catering to the nostalgia and 'I don't like any change'  it is a hurdle no edition before ever faced...The fans of piazo also pushed us out... because you can't just want to play a game...</blockquote>
