Eh - personally, the reason I liked 3.x so much was the 3rd party stuff from the smaller guys/startups. The vast majority of the bad products were shovelware from the larger established RPG companies looking to cash in (AEG/FFG/Avalanche). There were exceptions like Mongoose and Fast Forward (a new company make up of industry vets) that also glutted the market, but I bet those 5 companies accounted for 90% of the bad material.
Granted, the presentation from some of the smaller companies was bad (like early Mystic Eye products), but the actual content was quite good, I thought.

so is this for real? 4e is coming out this gen con?
if thats true, that kindof sucks imho. I was working on a really awesome 3.5 campaign setting. Probably still going to go through with it, and maybe convert to 4e if i can get a license.
think their will still be a big market for 3.5 in a few years?

I imagine. There are going to be plenty of people who have invested so heavily in 3.5E that they won't want to turn around ... or they'll want to do both until the sources for 4E are varied. Think about it. After being used to playing a sorcerer/fighter/spellsword/Eldritch Knight ... would you want to go back to a core only game for a while? Yeah, it'd be fun to try out the new rules ... but there will be a while while people still want the options.
Once 4E has an opportunity to build up its resource books, though, the 3.5 market will probably diminish. Those who stay with 3.5 will do so because they already have more than they need in a lifetime of gaming.

Nope. As best we can tell, the announcement will officially be made at GenCon. That suggests, to me, at least six months to a year before it's actually out.
