[QUOTE="Willie the Duck, post: 6929325, member: 6799660"] This has got to be the part of the OP post I have the most trouble with. Firstly the "please don't interrupt with" part seems like trying to preemptively and falsely defining by fiat a reasonable action from someone who might disagree with you as rude. That does not start this thread off on a good foot. The OP later trying to declare other peoples comments as epic fail doesn't help. But on to the basic premise here. I don't get this. Fan made stuff has been around forever, and what is wrong with it? What is so magical about the WotC icon emblazoned upon a set of rules that gives it gravitas? Especially in the same thread that one is complaining about WotC's actions. Do you question WotC's judgment or not? Do they know what they are doing or not? If you trust them enough to want to know what they think makes a good ____ (whatever class or spell or whatever you want them to write up), why don't you trust them on their position of 'use 3pp' which is what they've been trying to convince us to do since at least 2000? They have trying since then to get outside groups to do some of the heavy lifting (and risk taking, in terms of investment) on supplemental material. Be it OGL, DMS Guild, or whatever comes next.
