[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 2803210, member: 1165"] It could be that Urban Arcana kind of ... SUCKS! Sorry, but that's just the way I feel about it. The only thing Urban Arcana needs are adventures, but Modern adventures are a very splintered market. Maybe WotC could launch a D20 Modern setting search :D I think the splintering of the RPG market, in general, is a big problem. If you look at the various complaints that crop up, you'll often find a minority complaining about something, such as too many PrCs or too many magical abilities being added to non-magical concepts like rangers and detective PrCs. Since they're shouted down by the majority, and not listened to by WotC or many major game publishers, they don't buy anything. When a company does pander to the minority, sometimes it works out quite well for them. Just take a look at Iron Heroes. Maybe supplements get targeted the wrong way, too. I'm not sure I'm the best judge of how they should be targeted, as I'm biased. ^^ I'm wondering what kind of support people look for. Maybe there should be a poll - one for people who mainly GM, and one for people who mainly play. [/QUOTE]
