[QUOTE="Wyrmshadows, post: 4407157, member: 56166"] IMO compared to 3.5e 4e is to D&D what the Wii is to the Xbox 360 or the PS3. Its the perfect game for casual gamers. Easy to pick up and learn, few options (eve settings are only getting one major book), and optimized balance that allows for everyone to be awesome all the time. None of these things are bad necessarily, but the design philosophy is fundamentally different. Without 3pp support 4e will be what 3.5 would have been without 3pp support...an endless stream of splats filled with cool toys, feats, items, etc. that will undoubltedly introduce power creep and balance into 4e's perfectly balanced system...however without the creativity and innovation of alternate systems and settings like... Arcana Unearthed Iron Heroes True20 Midnight Conan D20 ...and others who brought mechanical and creative innovation to 3.5e. With the GSL as it is 4e will never have the richness of 3.5e.
