[QUOTE="MoogleEmpMog, post: 3744830, member: 22882"] I'll be encouraging the publishers I regularly work with to dual-stat their .pdfs, and I can't imagine the .pdf market not going this direction for at least a while. I mean, why not? Any time you can reuse significant portions of a document and have a chance at selling to a wider market with near-zero costs (since there's no cost to keep the .pdf out there and the art is already paid for), why WOULDN'T you do so? I'm still working on setting up in-house publication, but when I do I'll be releasing every product in as many open systems as possible, including both 3.5 and 4e. I don't think you can consider the 3.0 to 3.5 switch in the same light as the 3.5 to 4e switch. 3.5 basically cleaned up some grandfathered rules from 3.0, and made some sensible but uninteresting upgrades to the tactical engine. 3.0 products were completely compatible, if not always complete. 4e is an actual new edition with major fluff and crunch changes, so there are likely to be a lot more holdouts. I guess I don't really see what 'staying with 3.0' would entail. Stubbornly clinging to 5 x 10 horses in adventure stat blocks? Most people probably wouldn't notice or care, and would simply see the Large in the size line and use it as 10 x 10. :mad: [/QUOTE]
