[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 6042445, member: 6701124"] As noted in previous posts, WotC can get pretty cease-and-desistee if you tread on their intellectual property. For example Crystal Keep took down all of their really nice summary files of the non-OGL 3.5 stuff. Pathfinder has the advantage that everything in it is OGL. LL and Osric have the advantage that B/X and AD&D games were to some extent nested inside the 3.5 SRD. A 4e clone has a harder task in front of it with replicating all the AEDU powers and that a bunch of the classes and races are non 3.5 SRD. (Unless you just want something like the basic system outline, with none of the particulars). Its a big reason I'm open to playing just about any game... but I'm not really interested in sinking time into DMing/world building for anything that doesn't have an OGL equivalent. Anyway, I'm hoping for you 4e-ers that they keep that basic support up and running and keep the books in print via .pdf. (I'm wondering if waiting until a year after 5e is out to put all the 4e stuff in electronic-print makes the best business sense for them.) [/QUOTE]
