[QUOTE="Graf, post: 2728088, member: 3087"] I think the only peopel who have "residual 3.5 negativity" are people who are part of the book writing industry. The vast majority of players happily adopted 3.5 and its improvements in gameplay and moved on. Practically speaking the hobby is doing fine. A lot of smaller poor quality publishers are going out of business. A lot of other publishers find themselves nosing back toward the center (i.e. Monte Cook returning to DnD publishing with the new Ptolus book). There was expansion, now there is contraction, then there will be expansion again. I tend to think that the expansion this time around with probably center around WotC more than it did last time as they have finally gotten out of a defensive position and started to play aggressively enough to produce some more creative products. Green Ronin is good for them. And Mr. Ryan's OGL system has forced Wizards to compete on quality for the first time ever. And if you're the next Keith Baker you can get your ideas out to the masses with PDFs and either launch your own company or (more likely) get picked up by a competitor. People, including Wizards, need to do a better job editing. But that's always the case. [/QUOTE]
