[QUOTE="ZombieRoboNinja, post: 3984632, member: 54843"] The whole thing strikes me as really snarky. #1 seems a bit arrogant, but that may well just be a wording thing; #2 is (IMO) where it really gets silly. As Orcus from Necromancer Games and some others have already freely predicted, 3.5 WILL die and 4e WILL take over, if for no other reason than Borders and other retailers that pretty much ONLY carry WOTC and maybe White Wolf stuff will be stocking 4e and not the discontinued 3.5 books. Green Ronin has always seemed a bit more confrontational to WOTC than most other third parties, at least in their product lines. I'm not at all surprised that WOTC is no longer interested in catering to a publisher who features stuff like "True20" specifically promoted as a replacement for the WOTC material it's based on, rather than a complement to it. And in turn it's no surprise that Green Ronin people would be a bit angry at WOTC for basically cutting off some of their big product lines. In a more general sense, though, I'm not sure what a "4e conversion" of True20 or Mutants and Masterminds would entail. Obviously the new races, classes, spells, and monsters wouldn't matter at all, and the very basic stuff underpinning the system (ability scores, skill checks, etc) seems mostly unchanged from 3e anyway.
