Cause this is the first time a 10 page thread ever happened, and they need to consider this new intraweb thingy real quick.2WS-Steve said:More significantly, if I were WotC and came back from the weekend and saw a 10-page thread in response to a rather short comment made on Friday, I'd very carefully go over my response with WotC legal, marketing, and various other people before releasing it into the wild.
Jasperak said:I just ran Goodman Games The Transmuter's Last Touch over this past weekend, and it was much better than the sucktastic Return to The Temple of Elemental Evil. Nuff said about 3rd party publishers there.
So, I assume that she didn't read it (being a non-roleplaying wife I'd imagine she wouldn't understand much of the rule stuff anyway)?Wystan said:Just a note, there are copies of the BOEF in at least 4 book stores that I frequent, I have shown it to my non-roleplaying wife and she has called it disgusting and demented...so it is still affecting the image of RPG's...
Dragonblade said:(For the record, I like Monte's stuff. But the irony was too good to ignore! )

It might be hard to say "4E will be Open" if that's not how the GSL is phrased, but since the GSL is under NDA, they can't say "4E will be licensed," especially if it's still under review. They could come and say "No need to panic," but that might likely just cause more speculation or cause people to say "yeah right, they didn't deny it, 4E is closed."
I'm not saying no response is a good thing, I'm just saying it's the kind of situation where there might not be a good response to give, and a response may just add fuel to the fire when it really isn't as bad as folks fear.
