[QUOTE="The Grumpy Celt, post: 3703802, member: 1019"] Someone needs to come up with a grognard anthem... I've always known 4E was in the works, but I did not think it was coming until 2009 - its beating my predictions by about 18 months or so. As a gamer, ambivalence is a good term for how I feel. 3E was better than 2E, and 3.5E better still but now I'm in my 30s, and if not quite set in my ways I am a little resentful of change for the sake of change (as in money change in someone’s pocket) and so 4E will have to be pretty good for me to bother. As an occasional RPG supplement writer, I'm wondering how this will play out. It also seems exceptionally unlikely that 4E will simply be OGL. But it might be licensed – at heavy expense – to third party publishers. It seems unlikely OGL and d20 will be folded up, but it probably will be forgotten and neglected by gamers, in which case for all intents and purposes it will still just “go away.” Please, do not presume to lecture me about how WotC and Hasbro are for profit enterprises. I am not retarded and I know that – but nothing about capitalist philosophy says I have to start being stupidly giddy when this kind of thing happens. I bet my pet hermit crabs that Forgotten Realms will be kept and brought forwards, a nameless version of Grayhawk will also be kept as the default setting. I wonder about Eberron… [/QUOTE]
