[QUOTE="Salthorae, post: 7893271, member: 1095"] I bet it has a lot to do with jealousy deep down. They had/have created a platform that catapults their ability to turn their homebrew setting into a saleable, money printing thing and they get to play D&D for a living. For me, I just don't care for it because I don't care about CR or their setting. For me, because I don't care about the setting, it feels like a diversion on the WotC side to keep someone else from grabbing market share (or to get a cut of that steal at least) for RPG books, and for CR to have that WotC legitimacy for their product/setting. Then again, CR fans are storming Amazon's doors to throw their money at WotC and CR for this book so it's probably a good move from a business perspective. It'll probably make them more money than any of the settings that I actually want. It's not in TTRPG's. It's just life. There are always people on both sides of any fence or argument or thought. Honestly, Ravnica just feels to me like a re-skinning of Planescape. [LIST] [*]Plane that is a city [*]Factions that run different parts of the city/functions [*]Guildpact which reigns in the factions and ultimately kind of rules the plane, a la the Lady of Pain [/LIST] [I]shrug[/I] YMMV on this one. But... but... if we don't come on the internet to moan and whine about things then what is the point of the internet? But also, of course, they care. For one, it's a personal project and people always care about how their creative endeavors are received. Maybe not about individual complaints, but if there is enough of a level of complaint that it affects sales (this won't happen) or an outcry about the quality of the product when it comes back.
