[QUOTE="JVisgaitis, post: 4056755, member: 4177"] We have yet to see the GSL yet, so it's hard to say. It really depends on what position a company is in. For a garage publisher like us it probably makes more sense to wait. Unless you have really effective marketing and all of that, the lead time isn't much of a big deal IMO. I don't think the flood the market strategy is a good one as I'm sure there will be a ton of stuff available that day. The big challenge for any small publisher is getting distribution. I'd be curious to see how distributors will react to 4th Edition 3rd Party Support as I have the feeling that they would be pretty standoffish with any new publishers. It'll be interesting. For us it does. We purposefully held off releasing our Campaign Setting so we could do it in 4e. Will we redo some of our other material? Sure. I think a 4e Denizens of Avadnu would be sweet. Since we didn't do a lot of 4e material, we will mostly have new stuff. I think you'll see a mix. If it was me and we had a huge product line behind us, we'd probably start on something new. Rehashes of popular products could be cool, but I don't think it makes for a good business model. [/QUOTE]
