[QUOTE="MichaelSomething, post: 4759161, member: 51168"] This reminds of Galacitc Civilizations II and [URL="http://forums.galciv2.com/98074"]their decision to not have multiplayer[/URL]. Every feature you add to a game that costs resources. Would you spend a third of your resources to please one tenth of your audience? Wouldn't it be better to focus those resources on the other ninty percent of your audience? If there was really a large demand for non-combat material, then wouldn't some one else step up and produce it? Yet my FLGS has all the Dungeon Crawl Classics (Remember the golden days of role-playing where NPCs were there to be killed?) and dozens of books full of character combat options, monsters, and other large site based adventures full of more monsters. Of course, those who would be willing to write a [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/blogs/michaelsomething/814-blog-post-19-complete-roleplayer.html"]Complete Roleplayer[/URL] for 4E could simply be replused by the GSL.
