I don't think we'll be seeing them anytime soon. Maybe ever.1. As has been said before, WoTC have editors, writers, and game designers on staff, not programmers. I doubt they will add any, either. I have no idea what a WoC game designer pulls down a year, but I'd be willing to bet that the kid coming out of a decent IS program is going to want at least 1.5 that current salary as his starting base before they begin salary discussions. I doubt they'd take on contract employees; they're more expensive and we know that no project is ever truly over.2. That leaves them bidding the work out to someone else. We saw how well that worked last time, didn't we? I don't much trust them to come up with a workable system that can be modified as I see fit.3. There's still no mention of what happens for house rules. Every 3E campaign uses some house rules. I use a different means of metamagic in my campaign. How would I be able to tell the program how to change itself to accomodate it? If I can't, I have no interest in it. And if I can, will it be easy to do? If it takes more than a minute or so, I'm probably not interested.</blockquote>
