[QUOTE="Tarrasque Wrangler, post: 1423385, member: 7473"] And so what if it isn't? 3.5 [i]is[/i], and the OGL (as I understand it) is pretty much an irrevocable fact of life. Let's say your Lyndon Larouche-esque fantasies of 4th Edition comes true and suddenly there's no DM, no Monster Manual, no groups because everyone's playing their own solo game, and everyone's playing as some kind of Dual-Wielding Ranger-templated Flumph without ability scores. All it would take is some 3rd party publisher to put out a generic "Players Guide" document consisting of the SRD and 3.5 lives on! So big deal, you won't have WotC's IP monsters and the named spells will have no names. We can and will continue to have the "same game" in perpetuity if we want, and not in the Luddite mode of someone like Diaglo ;) - I mean, with new books and and new fans. Thanks to the OGL, the current version can continue to be a living, thriving entity whether or not Hasbro chooses to shepherd it. [/QUOTE]
