It's incredibly shortsighted thinking, it wouldn't even be the same creature.Here's to hoping that he's oldschool enough to not betray oldschoolers. Thus far he's definitely shown himself to be a ROCK in that department. I definitely hope he keeps it up. I intend to buy a lot more of his 3.X books in the future. It's not so much that I'm angry as disappointed and sickened by the complete abandonment of decades long loyal D&D fans by WOTC. To completely discontinue such a popular line is to leave everyone hanging, when they didn't even finish all their proposed book ideas. As for my statement, I truly believe that it will end badly for them. I've been on other forums and most people are NOT happy about the switch, no matter what WOTC tells you. I've seen nothing but complaints, except, on Enworld, which tends to cater to WOTC anyways.I don't really blame EnWorld for it, WOTC is a corporate Titan that just refuses to die. But in the end, all Titans end up in a prison or grave of their own making.Nah, I definitely think they will cling to it. It's not so much misguided as wishful thinking. But, it could happen. Stranger things have...like WOTC producing 4.0 and making it this sanctimoniously mystifying secret just to sucker in the masses.Not many would. =^.^= As a general rule, if Gary Gygax wasn't very happy about a particular edition, I tend to scrutinize it and at least find out why. He was one of the fathers of D&D and without him there would be no D&D. Alive or dead, it's really his baby, not WOTC's baby. No matter how much they try to usurp his throne, it will always be his.Of course I mean this in a purely figurative stance.</blockquote>
