[QUOTE="BraveSirRobin, post: 4371408, member: 3590"] I think what you are trying to say is that the GSL is preventing 3pp from moving to 4e DESPITE the larger market size. Because it would be crazy to think that they don't want to try and tap that larger market. Heck, try to tap both if you can. As for not wanting to convert Tomb of Horrors or the like, I can understand the apprehension. Then again Tomb of Horrors is such a name brand that you could probably negotiate a seperate contract with WOTC so that you don't loose the option to go back at some point at time. But if you don't, then what do you do with it? I guess you could continue to sell it as 3.5, but how many more copies are you going to sell? I don't think the 3.5 market is growing afterall. The future buyers already have entire walls of stuff, including probably Tomb of Horrors and the like. I guess of course that they can try to add onto it with Return to the Tomb II or something like that but the point is that eventually the market becomes saturated and people just don't need more stuff. It was the players handbook that was on the best sellers list. This is true, but I wouldn't totally discount it yet. I think they now have a better understanding of what the potential is for this side of the buisness and want to take advantage of it. I think they will put much more effort into it this time around then they have in the past. [/QUOTE]
