In all seriousness, though, it hasn't been supported beyond static tools in about a year, and whatever the magazines offer- which, while occasionally juicy, isn't anything a dedicated fan or inspired DM couldn't pull off. Okay, a season or two of Encounters, sure, but I don't know how much or how little that inspires us to play an edition or not. 4e has its supporters and even if that number is halved, people will be playing it. Inevitably, there is always a group that sticks with a system, or keeps it in their arsenal (as I am).Now comes the really interesting time, when people begin to push the system this way and that through extended play, and the game diverges into various hybrids as happened to past editions. I just hope these DMs blog or post, because I really want to hear where they take their games, and how. There's also more than a few heartbreakers out now, from Complete4e to Magic Sword to Holy BBQ, etc. More are no doubt coming. Look, the end of an edition is always in the cards, but I think it might be one of the best things to happen to 4e. Admittedly, after listening to all the bloggers, forum posters, and watching 4e DMs in action, I'm of the mind the fanbase always had a better handle of 4e than most of the designers. Looking back on the management and design choices throughout 4e's life cycle only confirms this in my mind.</blockquote>
