Message: <blockquote data-quote="Warden" data-source="post: 2384724" data-attributes="member: 11006">Agreed, but the focus of the magazine is the creation of a new RPG system.  I do feel that gaining an understanding of the reason behind such a rumour -- particularly the type of people that are behind it -- is an interesting aspect and something that I would like to explore more.  I know that it's actually a small segment of the community that is actually discussing the possibility of 4E, and everyone else is just pitching in their thoughts for fun, but it's curious who is almost demanding a new version of the most popular game.  I'm not trying to lend possibility to the gossip, but to understand where it's coming from and understand their thoughts from a design standpoint.Along the way, having a perspective from publishers is appropriate because of the work that 3E did to boost 3rd-party publishing.  What if 4E threatens that?  Do these same people want loads of products from other publishers, or just WotC as it was in the past (with TSR, that is).  The odds of gaining any actual facts to this "story" are slim, and we're likely looking at a very slim perspective article, but it intrigues me nonetheless.To be honest, this is almost like the Area 51 of roleplaying.  A handful of people belief it's out there, but no one can really prove it, and officials are denying it from the ground up.</blockquote>
