[QUOTE="lrsach01, post: 3768694, member: 18397"] This is the problem for all of us NOT going to 4e....the loss of new gaming material. Because WotC will be changing the SRD and D20 licenses, there will be no more new gaming material for 3.5e. "Sure there will" you might say. But how do you sell it? You can't brand it SRD3.5...that won't exist. It will ONLY be the SRD and it will be 4e. Think you can just make up SRD3.5? Try it. I bet you get a nice letter from some of WotC's best lawyers. You can't label it D20 since that will be 4e. And the OGL will follow along. Those brands belong to WotC and they won't let people interfere with their ability to make money. Oh sure, you will be able to make up your own games. But some of us just don't have that kind of time any more. I'm WELL out of my college days and my boss tends to frown on using up office resources for generating game material. You say there will always be some free stuff fans make and put out on the net? Sure! But come next May, it will all be over for professional material. Don't jump on me too much. I can't blame companies moving with WotC. Its where the money is.
