[QUOTE="TheDonger, post: 7676536, member: 6794152"] Don't want to get into a battle of semantics, but when I think of the term of "outsourcing," it generally refers to a situation where Company A hires subcontracter B to manufacture a component, based on specs provided by Company A, to be used and incorporated in the final widget produced by Company A. I think Crawford takes umbrage with the term because it suggests that the WoTC team simply handed off the work to a third-party, and there was little collaboration between the two, which we know is simply not the case. I've listened to an interview with Richard Baker from Sasquatch on the design and creation of Princes of the Apocalypse, and he confirmed that the WoTC team was involved in pretty much every single aspect of the adventure, from plot, tone, mechanics, art, editorial, etc. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter to me who takes the laboring oar in creating this content, as long as it is good, quality content. Also, all the guys who have a hand in helping WotC -- Rich Baker, Wolfgang Bauer, etc -- aren't they TSR/WoTC alumni anyway? [/QUOTE]
