[QUOTE="TheYeti1775, post: 4912630, member: 20914"] Win me back, that's a tough one. I borrowed the THREE CORE books from a friend, it didn't really appeal to me. The everything core is kind of a turn off for me much like a unibrow. So 4E itself (as a system) isn't what I want. I'll probably browse his Darksun copy when he gets it as well just for the 'fluff' out of it and how they changed some things. So making setting like that would at least get me as a 'browser'. As folks have said PDFs for older editions would help, but really if you make available the 4E ones as affordable ones (not full price) I might pick up some settings for fluff. But really I don't have a real incentive in that either. It's amazingly easy to find a pirated copy of what they don't provide anymore. Mini's, I buy them occassionally. But again the collectiblity nature of them makes me actually not buy as many. The DDI & Computer Tools itself interests me. As was mentioned, make past editions 1e/2e/3e/3.5e options within them. I would probably subscribe to it, which in turn might make me more willing to try out 4e mechanics as I read Dragon/Dungeon Articles about it. Even when I took a several year long break from gaming I maintained either a Subscription or picked it at the store every issue. Carrot me in, perhaps I'll eat the limas as well. I'm not so worried about the OGL or GSL or whatever its called now, I'm not a publisher of games. But in saying that, making it easier for a 3rd party to make compatible products like the OGL would seem in my mind to be good thing. Now licensing out old settings for use with previous editions would peek up my interests a lot. Use your 3 & out model than license it out for a 3rd party to support in whatever version they think they can make money in. Public Relations and Customer Service, except for the few times someone like Scott could come here and make a statement of about his Non-Disclosure Statement or only give a general (many times a skirt the issue) answer there really hasn't been. But for me, I would be a hard sale on getting me back as 4E and WotC is now. [/QUOTE]
