I don't think that's really true where IP is involved. It's pretty easy to leverage the IP of those original games to make a more compelling alternative, even if it is otherwise inferior. He may not be able to be better than them legally. Niches like this don't get validated, they get owned.

Exactly right. They don't need a lot of whiz-bang features as long as they have access to the IP content. Imagine trying to make a site about Harry Potter and then J.K. Rowling announces she's going to do the same. She'll be able to give the fans a lot more of what they want, even if the presentation is technically inferior. I've got a few ideas that might allow us to get legal access to that content as well, though. Still, I hate getting too specific on a particular RPG system, as there's a whole universe of systems and settings out there, and D&D is simply the most well known. Many of the others are much better, in my opinion.
