[QUOTE="Wyrd, post: 4116309, member: 61428"] I look for more of this to come about, hopefully not fracturing the market too much. WOTC dropped the ball by not having the license ready, businesses have lead times for products, anyone who is in business has to make choices based on many factors, an unknown license for an unknown game is not going to be a safe investment. Add to this the fact that many of Paizo's employee's have likely seen a lot more of 4e than we have, and perhaps even have a general idea of how the new license will look like, perhaps this is the best bet for them to avoid a bad license for a game that may or may not be a viable product. The only reason I purchased 3e was because of the RPGA living games, my home game runs my own set of house rules that is part classic D&D, part 1e, 2e, 3e, and whatever other material seems to fit and make the game run better, I will do the same with 4e, borrow the parts I like, dump the rest, though at this point from what I have seen, I already have good rules in place for what 4e does well, and better rules in place for the rest. I am trying to keep an open mind, but it looks more and more like WOTC has been eaten by the corporate monster that is Hasboro, and the gamers are gone. [/QUOTE]
