I'm with you on the buying LC asap, but I'd much rather that the d20 stuff 
came out, and *because* it did, and did well, we can get LC as it was 
intended, as opposed to rushed, or, (gasp) not at all (takes a calming 
breath at the thought...).
I look at all the roleplaying stuff thats gone the way of teh dodo over 
the last few years, and i'm damn glad that Peg isnt one of them.  if thats 
means that they have to release some stuff for the crowd, so they also 
release stuff for the (ahem) discerning gamer, then I'm all for it.  I 
wont be rushing to buy the D20 stuff, but I was tempted when I was last in 
my game store, as they *look* really nice.  but I only have so much cash, 
and will be reserving it for main line stuff.

I like this, actually, as it means adventures can be done for both 
markets, so I get Propter (tm) PEG stuff, and the D20 people get thier 
stuff, too...
