[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 6242987, member: 2525"] Yes, it is a conflict of interest. It's a game in the same industry. That's the conflict. It's not even a close call. I run a graduation cap & gown company. If one of my employees sold, for example, gimmick tie-dye caps for graduations on the side, it would be an obvious conflict of interest, even though it's not a specific product we sell. I present Lorraine Williams as exhibit A. I present The Book of Erotic Fantasy as Exhibit B, not that Kestrel was an employee. I present as Exhibit C: Lisa Stevens I present as Exhibit D: Erik Mona Well, I am a big fan of Monte, but I also am glad he's not working on 5e. I don't think his vision, at this point in his life, is for a D&D I'd enjoy as much as I am enjoying with the playtest documents. And though I disagree with the tone of the letter RPG Pundit sent regarding Monte's column, I agree with the substance. That, and he clearly had no clue what 4e had done with the game, and was calling things "new inventions" that had been the standard rule in 4e. All together, I don't think D&D and Monte were a good match anymore. I am looking forward to playing Numenera. [/QUOTE]
