[QUOTE="Voneth, post: 18611, member: 1016"] Well, that's the point of the frustration about the gamers I was talking about. If people didn't by FR, they they would buy another middle ages, eurocentric, and cosmopolitin setting instead of something with more orginiality to it. On a personal note, I was amused when someone asked why 3rd party publishers don't come up with something "more original," why should when it's been proven that more original settings don't sell most of the time. I was floored when I found out that the Legend of the Five Rings setting and Deadlands is rather popular is now popular in certain circles. In part I think it's a matter of the most common customer. When you make something that's a little off center, you gamble to get the attention of a smaller audience. When you stick to the safe stuff, you're bound to get some sales from the main crowd. Heck, I've had people look at me wierd just for making Orcs the Mongolian horde of a game world. A competent horde. [/QUOTE]
