[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 3812942, member: 4937"] Perhaps, but most of the best adventure writing for 3.X did not come out of WotC, but out of other parties. Goodman games as got a good thing going with 3.X modules that in style could have been ripped out of the early '80's. I seriously doubt that interest in those is just going to dry up, and I'm willing to bet its the 'grognard' audience that has been thier primary buyers. Companies like Green Ronin, Necromancer, and Paizo were enormously influential. I've got more GR material than I have from WotC, which increasingly seemed to not be interested in my concerns for the game and insisted on offering me alot of stuff I didn't want for every page of rules that interested me. It got where only about 5% of thier books material I would have used, which amounted to about $2 a page. It was alot easier to just put the book back on the shelf and steal the idea. 4e seems to be going even farther in that direction, offering to 'fix' alot of things I didn't feel were problems, ignoring alot of things I thought were problems, and making broad proclamations of how somethings I would like to see fixed will be fixed but providing zero evidence for it. Plus, lots and lots of new pages of flavor that just isn't to my taste. Couldn't they save that for a setting supplement? There is definately room for a 3.75 updating of the rules. How about let's call it the 'Advanced Edition'. [/QUOTE]
