[QUOTE="Dark Mistress, post: 5512445, member: 11816"] A few comments due to some of the more recent posts. Clark hasn't been doing anything game related beyond playing with his home group since becoming a Judge. That is why he stopped being active. Clark did indeed play 4E and Pathfinder when they came out. There are things he likes and dislikes about both. I won't get into what as that has no real bearing on things. The reason he is talking about supporting Pathfinder and not 4E from my understanding is the GSL. Clark as many have guessed will not publish in a gray area. It's why he won't support retro clones, why he won't support 4E unless he signed the GSL. Regardless if it is legal or not, it is the moral aspect of it to him. The GSL for him still has to many issues for him to sign it. Which means he can't/won't support 4E because of it. If the GSL was loosened up and allowed him to do his optional rule book idea he wanted to do in the first place. Things might be different, but it's not. So this has nothing to do with edition wars or anything like that. This simple has to do with, Pathfinder and the OGL allows him to make the kinda of stuff he wants to make and 4E and the GSL does not. It is really that simple. [/QUOTE]
