[QUOTE="Scribe, post: 8931591, member: 6807152"] Thanks [USER=7023840]@Snarf Zagyg[/USER] ! I think you have captured the spirit of the idea thats been rolling around in my head for the last week or so, but was brought to the fore with the 'get back on the wagon' thread. My logical path (logical to me) was. 1. The market in the grand scheme of things, is small. 2. The market is absolutely dominated by "D&D" as per definition 5. To me for example, Pathfinder 1, is more 'D&D', than current 5e but we all (or many/most) of us are still playing "D&D". 3. The path to success for 3PP has been to leverage 5e's current market dominance, more so than try and break off ala Paizo. 4. The current dominance, and direction, of 5e is leaving some of us cold. So how do I as a considerate consumer feel about all this? I actually think the market dominance of a 'rule set' is fine. Assuming of course that rule set is exposed (OGL/CC) to the degree people can take that common tongue, and put their own accent on it. If this is 3PP, if this is Black Flag (stated to be compatible I saw) or Level Up, its all still "D&D", more so than say, and I hate to say it, PF2 feels. Dont get me wrong, I like some things in PF2, but its not PF1, and I've come to feel that PF1, is probably my 'forever' edition of D&D. Ideally, a strong central rule set, that is module enough to be added to (Level Up) and open enough to be repurposed into a flavour or "accent" of the same spoken language, allows everyone to be in the same tent, if not at the same table. This allows the community to grow, cross pollinate, and hopefully, not edition war too hard. [/QUOTE]
