[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 6217829, member: 87792"] Indeed. They do what they do well. This is not a problem. It just isn't anything close to the whole hobby - it's a single approach. Um... You might want to look at the thread title then - it's about being a steward of the whole hobby as opposed to one relatively large part. And you might want to check your history. In the late 90s (98 onwards) Wizards had Pokemon. They also had other games like Roborally and Everway (not that that RPG did terribly well). In the late 70s TSR had Gamma World and Boot Hill as alternative RPGs. D&D fans who did like 3e but wanted to try something else. Friendly Local Gaming Shops through the Encounters program (as well as the more intensive organised play) to draw people in. People who preferred gamism to simulationism [I]whether or not they liked D&D.[/I] [/QUOTE]
