[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 3712401, member: 326"] Hey Xzoltar dude! :) I think most people will adopt the newer system. But that certainly doesn't mean (for me) that I will alienate 3.5 customer base. Thats the eventual likelihood. Well, certain things lend themselves to being easy ports from 3.5 to 4. Things like monsters and adventures. What doesn't so easily lend itself are things like new rules that integrate with the current rules. So something like a Bestiary would be relatively easy* to convert, while something like Ascension would be a lot trickier. *...and this is me remember. Well its certainly not going to affect progress over the next year or thereabouts (Ascension, Gods & Monsters, Grimoire and Bestiary 2). After that I would just be guessing. Its something of a Catch 22 for me. If I hire someone I end up making less money, if I don't hire someone the turnover is slower. I'm also still not at the stage where I can afford to pay people up front, so thats another problem. If I could get a good artist I would be happy to relinquish art duties (since thats where I am least confident), but good art costs money these days. Even if I do embrace 4E I won't abandon 3.5 until things have run their course. So I would still plan on releasing all the Immortals Handbook products for 3.5 (though as for the Immortals Index stuff we will have to wait and see). [/QUOTE]
