Because it has a million-dollar marketing campaign behind it and sells. We struggle to print a single poster--WOTC advertises on MTV and ESPN. It sells.

That said, I'm no fan of D20. In fact.. .well, Mom always said don't say anything if you can't say anything nice.

But, it does sell, and it might breathe life back into Deadlands and get us back into the top 5 instead of the top 10.

Love ya all.
