[QUOTE="C. Baize, post: 2732045, member: 4571"] In a way, though my point I guess was more along the lines of "It's a safe pool to jump into" rather than taking a chance to write for an unknown quantity. A situation which magnified itself, really. "I'm not going to write for it, because it's new and unknown." "Look! I was right, nobody else is writing for it, either!" Never realizing that others were in the same mindset they were to begin with... Wait and see. Well... with nearly every publisher "waiting and seeing", only the most innovative companies supported D20 Modern. And now because everyone "waited and saw", D20 Modern is a much smaller pool with some very loyal adherents to particular companies, it would appear. "Better" is so subjective... ;) Yeah... the "It's only official if it's from WotC" crowd... I don't suppose I'll ever understand them. I know. It's why I'm discussing instead of arguing. ;) It MAY be that they fell victim to the same mindset that kept a lot of 3rd party publishers from dipping their toes into the pool... They waited and saw, and the lack of an inundation of support (to the level of D&D) turned a bunch of gamers into Chicken Littles telling that the sky was falling on D20 Modern because there was "no support". I still see that as weird... I used the same few books for upwards of a decade without buying more, and it was fine. What do you suppose it is that makes people cry about the end of a line if a dozen products per day aren't released for it? [/QUOTE]
