It would be nice even if they released it as pure/only PDF on dndclassics.com. I would buy it just to read it. The manuscript must have been finished. Heck, it may have even been fully formatted.
I have to say, 4E sounds like a great game. Now that Next is on the horizon, I am really sorry I didn't try 4 after reading what you all have said, and it certainly doesn't seem to deserve as much of the negative press as it got.
Are you me?I really put a crazy lot of faith in the management, before I realized most the design leads disliked the edition or simply never understood it. Chris Perkins and the freelancers produced the memorable stuff. You know, I actually championed Mearls at first, too. After the bumbling of the first two years of the edition, it had to get better. I really thought his leadership push was going into proliferating 4e across a wider breadth of tastes, interests, and play styles while keeping in line with the stable core. Part of me hoped for Paizo-level attention to the edition and materials to buy and run. But they tanked it, instead. They freaking tanked it.
*Snip for length*
The last 4e magazine came out today, so 4e is officially dead. No longer will we see any support for this beautiful, horribly managed game.
(snip) That said, 4e will be a lot harder to continue playing without the online tools (though there are still unofficial solutions to this that I will pursue if WotC leaves me no choice).
