(Someone (Rob?) please forward this to GEnie so that those folx can get a
look at this.)
My apologies to the GDW folks if you don't appreciate the tone in which this
is written -- I don't like what is happening and I don't see any reason for
ME, as an aggravated customer, to mince words.
How stupid do you think I am? Perhaps it *IS* too late to complain about the
use of T2k in the upcoming revision, but I don't really care. Between this
little tidbit and Star Viking, I can only say that I haven't seen anything to
cheer about. GDW's track record is not much to crow about, in terms of
mangling a valiant attempt (MT) and in subsequent skunks (Fighting Ships and
COACC, for example). And, speaking as a person who enthusiastically bought
into first ed Twilight:2000, you botched that one too, which is why I never
bought any more t2k and will NEVER do so. I have absolutely NO CONFIDENCE in
your ability to deliver a product that I will find worthy of spending my
scarce hobby dollars upon.
I only reluctantly bought into MT, and if it hadn't been for DGP, would have
had a fairly negative view of the project. As it stands now, I fully expect to
be an EX-customer of GDW, shaking the dust from my feet, never to return. I
didn't care for AD&D 2nd ed EITHER, so that is when I stopped buying TSR
materials.
Obviously, you are going to do what you THINK the customer market wants. I just
wanted to let you know that you are creating a lot of ill will out here, and
speaking for myself, not only will *I* stop buying, but negative word of mouth
will undoubtedly have an effect. I have better things
