Green Ronin obviously comes off looking extremely prescient, especially since the D20 Freeport Companion will just be coming back from the printers by the time that WotC starts releasing the early draft SRD to D20 publishers. I'd expect Freeport to again be the first setting available for a new setting.I'd bet Pramas has already cleared June on their product schedule and intends to have the 4E Freeport Companion and a 4E Bleeding Edge 1st level adventure hitting stores at the same time as the PHB.Likewise, Goodman Games just cleaned out their warehouse (good/informed timing!) and produce modules at an awe-inspiring pace. I would be flabbergasted if they don't have a 1st level 4E module waiting on the shelf within weeks of the PHB hitting stores. Hopefully they'll get started on 4E adaptations of their best-selling 3E DCC books as soon as they can. With 4E going to level 30, their higher-level modules look like good candidates for conversion.I have no doubt that Paizo's third adventure path will be 4E and I imagine they will switch over to 4E with their Gamemastery modules next summer without missing a beat. If anything, this puts them on a better playing field, since they will thus be producing a large percentage of the total number of 4E OGL products at that point, simply by virtue of WotC hitting the reset button.The one company I'm a little worried about is Necromancer. While they always produce excellent products, no one would ever describe them as quick or nimble. I would love, love, love to see a 4E Tome of Horrors hitting stores next summer, as well as new/converted modules, but I can't help but think about the big backlog of projects they have "coming soon TM." All of those either get released an edition behind to a much-smaller audience than originally planned, or they have to go back and get revised, delaying their release even further.</blockquote>
