But why can't we MAKE them "official", thereby creating more product
and grabbing more players. It was said on more than one thread that
alot of games start at the game store shelf. Is a new game going to
get passed over that has JUST a set of rules, when the games next to
it has rules and multible supplements? We all know how great the
system is, but how does a newbie know (especially considering that
they all come shrink-wrapped)? I'm not citing a revelation here.
Many before me here brought that analogy up, and I tend to agree (as
MANY others did, too).

I wish I could sit back and be complacent, and I'm sure Jon is
putting forth 110% effort into complying with all our wants. Why
can't we help?

No. Never. I never view others comments as destructive, and I thank
you for replying. You and Allan are only trying to express concerns
I'm sure, but I'm not one to be negative/cautious about creativity
and only want to make SG (and DS) more then a passing fancy (I'm NOT
implying that it is either).
