They know the PHB2 or whatever will sell like crazy whether or not I have given an alternate version/You have to remember--when 3E came out, Steve Wieck and I published the Creature Collection, a hardback monster manual that came out A MONTH BEFORE THE OFFICIAL MONSTER MANUAL (yes, you read that right; if you werent around back then, a third party publisher put out a hard cover core rule book looking monster book BEFORE WotC published the official MM. hard to believe, but true). And no one cared. In fact, Ryan Dancey (then head of D&D and the father of open gaming) paraded it around teh WotC offices as a testiment to the strength of open gaming. And guess what, everyone still bought the Monster Manual. I dont see any reason for them to stop it at all. In fact, I see them as encouraging stuff like this. If they want to do it on DDI (as they are doing the halforc apparently) they will. Will that hurt my book? Maybe. But that isnt the point.</blockquote>
