This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Omega;808092Instead what you do is KEEP THE SAME DAMN GAME CIRCULATING WITH REPRINTS! Every 5 years just reprint the game, possibly with some eratta fixes, and new art, and you have the exact same results without the massive customer loss.

The sad thing is that a "new edition" should mean "a reprint, possibly with some errata fixes".

When did "new edition" start to mean "wholesale re-write"?

In terms of the OP's question about support, give me a good core rulebook and I'm happy. I can play the game with my group (in rotation with other games) for decades.

I don't need "support" for the game to do that, and I don't understand when people complain that a game is poorly supported. You have the game. Why do you need "support" to play it? Just play the damn thing.

It's not like the book is going to spontaneously combust and prevent you from continuing to play if you don't constantly buy supplements and new editions.
Check out Gurbintroll Games for my free RPGs (including Dark Dungeons and FASERIP)!

It's not? I guess I drew the wrong conclusions from the scrolls I found in the dungeon.
