[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4367888, member: 710"] I don't know why anyone would publish something for a defunct system, but what does this have to do with 3E or Pathfinder? ;) My English-German translation tells me that "defunct" means "dead"/"deceased" or "no longer existing". Is a game already dead because its original creator no longer supports it? Is it dead when third-party publishers still produce material for it? Is it dead when no one plays it any more? Of course, for the case at hand, another factor has to be considered: Since when are they developing the setting? Considering that neither the GSL nor the rules where available outside WotC and their playtesters before the release of the game, could they have reasonably created a GSL version of the game in the past year? Well, in the end, it would be a bummer for me if I was that much interested in the campaign setting. Until I read some (positive) reviews and know some adventure material is published for it, I am not. [/QUOTE]
