I'm absolutely certain a solution to this could be found - esp for pdfs. Not sure if the "nerd rage" comment is called for - there are some people here who's livelyhoods we are talking about. Also some people with perfectly rational beliefs - just ones that you (and I) disagree with.

I don't understand what you're trying to say in the underlined text - could you I get you to clarify that please? (if you can be arsed) I disagree - quality is really all that matters here. If (for example) Mutants and Masterminds is that good a product, it will continue to be sold and...

I suspect there is a bit of "wrong end of teh stick" as well as potential for further change. Though I very much believe that there will be pressure on 3pps to put aside support for 3e. To be honest though, if it is that bad, would my position change? No not really. If the 3e/OGL products are...

Hi - perhaps I wasn't clear. Whenever the "Rules aren't copywriteable" comment comes out, its generally by someone who isn't a publisher. You seemed pretty confident with your "it's easy to be scared by the lawyers" line, so I was enquiring if you were planning a product that would be a test...

Yeah, but I don't accept this as a given fact either.

Willing to put your cash on the line? ;)

That seems to be a bit of a tinfoilhatish spin on things. Yes It would be possible for WotC to use the GSL to kill off 4e-supporting companies - but more likely they would use said power when they launch 5e to avoid the current kerfuffle. And I have to disagree with your view with regards the...

heh. touche, and all that.

Overwrought much? Any company whose livelyhood depends on the business decisions of another company faces challenges when the other company changes it's plans (let alone when you are dependent on that companys IP/licensing). Thats business. Anyone in this business should (and probably does)...

Yes. Preferably with Paladins.

Ron Edwards has a lot to answer for.

Well the marketing can't be too bad - after all, we're all here talking about 4e right?

Alternatively they could be using the "stoke the the nerd rage to great heights" approach to marketing. It's what I'd do - admittedly only to warm my toes by the outpouring of rage, but hey.

Honestly? One mans "straight" would be another mans "rainbow". Whatever they did, there would be a loud faction wailing and gnashing their teeth.

I know it isn't in the spirit of things to enjoy it, but I must admit to feeling the same way* - it makes me want to lay all the hate and venom in a line and pull out a fifty-pound note. I voted like the realms, like the changes. Fundamentally in the unlikely event the FR 4e stuff sucks, I'll...

Well out of that article, two thinks leaped out: Baldurs Gate - First reaction was "a teeming hive of scum and villainy" Yay! (Even if it's not) Drifting earthmotes with wierd aerial forests - As a player I'd want a keep on one of those, with a gurard of halfing giant bat riders, stat! I...

TBH, As an experienced player who has introduced a number of newbies to D&D, I'd LOVE for the default rulebooks to have a moderate implied etting (ala Basic/Expert). It's hard enough for me to get players to read the rules, let lone read any relevant bits of a campaign setting. If they can...

I'd disagree with this - within certain bounds I think D&D is just fine for homebrews - but I get your point about needing cooperation from the players. To add to Najos list: Kits? Speciality priests?

I agree with Edena - I shall now go and scrub my brain with soap ;) I'd add the d20.

Sure, that makes sense - but I still think that it doesn't really change much - according to (some) detractors of the feat name, one of the issues with this is that players will refer to this "order of the golden wyvern", even after having been told by the GM that theres no such thing. The feat...
