[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 4634727, member: 9053"] I pretty much agree with this 100%. There are a lot of companies out there who made excellent 3X products that would do very well in the 4E era, but most of them aren't willing to jump in without a very firm set of legal legs to stand on. A new GSL (or, if I can dream, an extension of the OGL) would bring a lot more folks home to D&D, since you'd have the opportunity to purchase products with a very different feel than what's coming out from WotC. As a simple example, I love the Paizo "look and feel" for their adventures, and I'd love to see them do something with 4E, but we're just not going to see that until there's a better license for them to work with. I'm sure for other people it's companies like Green Ronin, or Necromancer, or other companies altogether. For me, when I was running a module, which I did for quite some time, I didn't use WotC's products, but rather ran [B]Age of Worms[/B] and [B]Shackled City[/B]. I'd love to run EN World's own [B]War of the Burning Sky[/B] as well, but I'm looking to do so in 4E. If I get to the point where my own creative resources are tapped for 4E, and there aren't other alternatives, it will be time to move on to another game. I'm sure I'm not alone in that area either. So I'd say that it really IS in WotC's best interest to get a revised GSL out there, and I hope they will. At this point, I'm not really expecting it anymore, so there you go. --Steve [/QUOTE]
