Message: <blockquote data-quote="Desdichado" data-source="post: 6253040" data-attributes="member: 2205">It's a perfectly valid sentence and a perfectly valid point, and if it seems to be dismissive of adamc's argument, then that's a hint that adamc's argument is lacking in addressing this very issue.  Because people evaluate upcoming releases all the time.  I'm in the middle of a Star Wars game right now, and we started it before the Edge of the Empire game was released.  Does that mean that we couldn't make a decision on whether or not we wanted to wait for that release before starting?  People are evaluating now whether they want to stick with the D&D game they have (be it Pathfinder, 4e, or something else) as opposed to embracing the imminent release of D&DN.  Our group is evaluating options for our next campaign, and the consensus seems to be that we'll play the Orient Express Cthulhu campaign that two guys in our group helped fund via kickstarter, even though it isn't actually in either of their hands yet.Again; the point is totally valid.  Unpublished games have to be evaluated as well.  And it does actually make the bewildering array of options, for those who are paralyzed by too many options, more difficult.Rather; where the argument falls flat is where you take it out of the roleplaying games sphere to others where options are already bewildering, and see if it actually holds out.  Do people not watch TV shows because they can't figure out what to watch?  To people not go on vacations because of all of the possible alternatives that they could choose from?</blockquote>
