[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 5752552, member: 2067"] :blush: I will put you down as one of my references. ;) If only there was some sort of way to release the ruleset for free to any who wanted to modify it, to open up the game, so to speak, perhaps with some sort of license that provides a safe harbor to all and sundry who would like to write compatible rules, assuring that the game will live on forever with those who never want to leave, while still changing with the times, embracing some fixes, and moving forward with the path toward this decade's best-possible game system. In only there was some sort of....open game license like that...man, then ANYONE could keep supporting 4e, and let the market speak to what that might support. It would perhaps take some sort of mad genius to conceive of such a license, and for WotC to embrace it might mean that they want to support a rich fan community, rather than creating new walled gardens of IP that no one else is allowed to play in.... Ah, well, a banana can dream, can't he? [/QUOTE]
