"Under cover of Darkness" - the (un)official Hivemind Slash!

[Jdvn1]

Any particular reason?

 

[Crothian]

sounded like a good idea at the time? I just read the book and it is better writen and makes me want to play it more then most d20 books

 

[Jdvn1]

Well, I suppose that's a good reason, but the problem with non-d20 games is that there isn't enough support. As in, not enough fans.

 

[Crothian]

If this site went out and supporter one of these lesswer games, hundred if not thousdands of people would give it a try. Now, the game would have to be good enough to keep those people once they tried it, but EN World has some power that it doesn't use. But that's probably a good thing.

 

[Jdvn1]

Maybe, but I always get the impression that people don't want to try new games. The ones they have fit them well enough.

 

[Crothian]

People don't want to try new games, but they like being told what is a good new game. People don't want to risk not liking things, but if EN World comes out for one of good quality, that will make some people comfomtible enough to give it a try. And even the numbers I'm pridicting would give the game a chance is only 10-25% of the people that come here in a given week.

 

[Jdvn1]

What if EN World came out with their own system?

 

[Crothian]

that could work too, but creating a new and good system takes a lot of work and frankly I'm not sure the people who run the site have that in them. but heck, they already got a publishing company so maybe they could.

 

[Jdvn1]

Yeah, I was thinking that the publishing company could work on something like that for a long-term project.

 

[Crothian]

they need to, all d20 publishers need to be working on something like that. It is not a good business plan to be totally depandant on another company that has no vested interest in what you are doing.
