Here in Michigan we had some handy glaciers scrape everything flat for us (and like others have said, we have the infrastructure to handle massive plowing), so if we get a foot of snow, it's no big deal. But in Seattle, they may or may not have decent infrastructure for plowing, but those hills make any snow terrible. If you start sliding it's not a matter of trying to straighten out before you hit a snow bank, it's holding on for dear life as you start sliding backwards into everyone behind you! So, yeah, stay safe out there, WotC, Paizo, Green Ronin, and all other Seattle area folk!As a freelancer and publisher wannabe, I will chime in and say that a "yes" to all of those (especially any indication that each year's core trio of books will be added) would probably convert me accepting the GSL. Which would of course generate a handful of sales and DDI subscriptions for you as I convince my group to start some 4e in addition to our 3.5 game. I'm definitely a small fish in the RPG industry, and I'm not sure how many others are out there like me, but if the GSL is improved enough, I will support 4e both as a publisher and as a customer. Until then, it hasn't interested my circle of gamers enough to play and me enough to write for it, so 3.5/Pathfinder is currently the best option for us. (No dig against you or 4e supporters - just saying that an improved GSL is in fact a tipping point for at least me and consequently my group since they of course bend to my will. No idea if we represent a noticeable number of potential customers or not, however.)</blockquote>
