I just wanted to make a few comments.Clark wanted to support the current edition of DnD even before he knew what 4e was like he wanted to support it for the love of DnD.He was a huge supporter of 4E and the GSL before they came out. The GSL had a poison pill in it, in his opinion when it first came out. His support waned but he still wanted to support the current edition of DnD.The whole GSL thing dragged on and on and his passion lowered and lowered. Then as things got resolved, he had the idea of making a rules book to bring a more "old School" feel to 4e, with optional rules. This got a lot of interest at first but the problem was no one could agree on just what that meant. His passion burned even lower as their was no clear cut way to go.Then RL stuff happened including him becoming a Judge. Which eat up pretty much all of his free time he had to spare, so all things game related especially publishing was set aside. Recently things in RL have changed again and he has some more free time. Which is why he is now looking back into publishing again.As of now his plans are to support Pathfinder. The reasons for this are a few. One he was never 100% happy with the GSL. Two he believes Pathfinder carries on with the elements he most liked about DnD best. Three as has been mentioned he believes retro clones violate the spirit if not the letter of the OGL to make old versions of the game. Which is why he has said in the past he won't support them.As for his support of Pathfinder, he has plans and idea's but nothing set in stone. He doesn't want to make promises and then not keep them. That's why he is being vague. He is exploring the idea of publishing for Pathfinder and has a desire to do it. When he has decided how and what he will do then he will make a official announcement.***Note - All I have said is based on memory(which can be faulty) and my personal opinion of what he has said. So take anything I say with a grain of salt. I was just hoping to share a little light on the subject for people. I will point out this thread to him and hopefully he will come along and post himself and possible prove me wrong on some stuff. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
