[QUOTE="SBMC, post: 2577194, member: 30040"] I think that 3.5 has a long life ahead of it. One main reason is that folks, like many of us, would get real ticked off if all of the sudden, after just a few years, our books were now worthless. They have to at least give enough tiome for the bindings of the 3 core books to start breaking! :) Think about it - WoTC has already published plenty of books - but there are tons more subjects to publish on. Race books for example - some books cover these (such as the aberations book) but there are plenty more - on elves, dwarves, etc. What about Core class books? Fighter, Ranger? What about a "rouges gallery"? Waht about a book on character history? What about books on alignments? A book on how to build insanely detailed cities?...and all he unmentioend stuff that 2.0 had out there as well. Not to mention for those adult to pre-teen newbies to the game there is always room to publish books such as the "Combined DMG" that just sticks both DMG's together. What about the old "modules" - not even scatched the surface of those yet for v3.5. WoTC has a good thing going. Why mess it up? Why tick off your customers? If they did 4.0 I would bet the OGL folks would start getting more sales than they could possibly handle. v3.5 I bet has a good long life ahead of it. [/QUOTE]
