What exactly can WotC release NOW for 3.5 that they haven't already released previously, or that wasn't filled in by some third party product?
I'd say "adventures," but I think Wicht already did.
There's a reason why all of the examples in my letter were for adventures in other editions.
The reason why WotC moved on from Third Edition was because the had released EVERYTHING they reasonably could have without producing some tiny niche book that only would have sold a hundred copies. What exactly do you expect them to do now?
I don't agree with your premise that that's why WotC released a new edition of the game. Otherwise, see above.
And just because you bring up one other point that gets made often by other people that I really have to bring light to the reality...
What you're basically saying here is that WotC should open up their game so that you don't have to buy any of their products. If OTHER companies could make a wide-ranging amount of 4E products instead, then maybe you'd play the game finally, because you won't play what WotC offers.
But this here exactly highlights why WotC should in no way open up 4E to the OGL. Because if THEIR GAME isn't good enough for you unless you can play other people's version of it... then get lost. You aren't a customer to them. If the work other companies do is so great... then let them create their own games for you to play. Why should WotC have to do all the hard work, while other companies collect all the spoils?
This is a truly amusing amount of vitriol, mostly because it's quite wrong.
First of all, I never said WotC "should" open up 4E under the OGL. I said I'd be turning cartwheels if they did - I also said that I didn't think that was realistic. (As a note, the reason I like this idea (4E under the OGL) is because I support the OGL as its own thing; I think more support for it is a laudable goal in and of itself.)
Secondly, I'm already playing an RPG I'm quite content with, so even if 4E did go OGL, I doubt that'd make me buy it. What'd make me a customer of WotC's again is outlined in my initial post.
Thirdly, last I checked, other companies already were making a wide variety of 4E products under license (albeit not as wide as under the OGL, but still quite an amount). So clearly, this idea that I'll go around buying up 4E products only so long as they're not produced by WotC is false.
In short, you're wildly misreading my last post, and being quite a boor in your response. So, in closing, please follow your own advice and "get lost" from my thread.
