I just made an offhand remark that was critical about WoTC and suddenly
found myself having to defend being critical of them.  It wasn't intended to
start a thread or an off topic discussion, it just became that way.  Some
people on this list seem to be very (overly) sensitive whenever anyone makes
unflattering comments about WoTC or thier rule systems.

Every system, and company, has it's faults and strong points, it's that
simple.  None of them are perfect.  And WoTC is far from perfect.  To me
they seem to loose focus on creativity and instead try to just pump changes
that are intended to make them money.  Like those cards, the Magic the
Gathering cards.  Those were an insidious invention, I'll tell you.  Little
or no imagination, just a push to make you spend your money.  Gygax was in
it for the fun of it, because he loved it, and that is why Dungeons and
Dragons took off like it did.  The money was secondary and only meant to
help him persue the primary focus - the expression of his imagination.
