[QUOTE="kenmarable, post: 7658855, member: 40359"] This is pretty far off on a tangent and probably going to just wind up arguing semantics of what it means for a business to "have" a site, but this: [url]http://www.dndclassics.com/product/17267/Planescape-Campaign-Setting-2e?it=1[/url] and this: [url]http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/17267/Planescape-Campaign-Setting-2e?it=1[/url] and this: [url]http://www.rpgnow.com/product/17267/Planescape-Campaign-Setting-2e?it=1[/url] are all the same business. In fact it is the exact same database, same product IDs, and looking at the page source, same exact code, just referencing "themes/dnd/" "themes/dtrpg/" and "themes/rpgnow/". WotC may be sending them content, but they are not running anything over there since it is [b]all one site[/b]. Different URLs just display different themes.There are no iframes for WotC to replace, because there's likely only 1 about us page that exists on that server. Only 1 home page for dndclassics, DriveThruRPG, DriveThruComics, DriveThruCards, DriveThruFiction, WargameVault - all of which are listed and accessible on the left side of every page of dndclassics. Heck, go to dndclassics.com and click "My Library". Every RPGNow or DriveThruRPG product you ever bought is listed there. Same thing with "Account" listing every non-WotC order, "My Wishlist" including every non-WotC item. It is all OneBookShelf. WotC does not own nor run it. Instead, OneBookShelf is taking I'm sure much more than "a very small portion" of the revenue, just as Amazon, B&N, etc. etc. all take their portion of the revenue as retailers for WotC products. When I say that WotC does not have their own store front, I only mean that it does not own and operate their own store front in the way that Paizo owns and operates their own store front. WotC does not sell anything, they let others do it for them. That's all I'm saying. P.S. Oh, and [url=http://www.dndclassics.com/product/114133/Numenera]what is this campaign setting?!![/url] They are also bringing back [url=http://www.dndclassics.com/product/94815/Vampire-The-Masquerade-20th-Anniversary-Edition]all the classics[/url]! Wow! Sorry, it's late here and I'm getting silly. :) [/QUOTE]
