There will always be grognards but the community will support 4e regardless for one simple reason: market share. As has been posted before, Monte may be the 500lb gorilla but WotC is the Cloverfield monster. . . on steroids with a planet-destroying laser and a hyperdrive. So long as 4e solves many of the problems of 3.xe and is reliably supported by WotC, the market will follow them. Monte simply is not going to be able to produce sufficient material even if he wanted to. It isn't worth buying one-off rules then having to convert everything when WotC produces everything to their new rule set requiring minimal conversion. That is the fact of it. Monte has produced some good stuff but he has also produced some duds. Contrary to popular belief, he does not walk on water, and nd I have yet to see him turn water to wine. His stuff is by and large pretty decent but it does not fix the underlying problems in the 3e system any more than any other publisher including WotC itself. Lastly after you have patched 3e so much is it really even 3e anymore? At some point you've developed a significant enough change that it really is a new system. . . a la a different form of 4e.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> No offense intended, but thinking Monte will hold back the tide is wishful thinking. I don't think he intends to do that and he couldn't if he wanted to.Tzarevitch</blockquote>
