[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7024600, member: 996"] Wow, not the impression I got, at least, not from the way WotC's first cut of the GSL seemed designed to give them a killswitch with which to ruin an 3pp that stepped out of line. It obviously didn't go over, and they had to revise it, but it looked like bridge-burning, to me. Burning the bridge /as you're crossing it/, that is. True, but in-house developers need that kind of discipline every bit as much as 3pps. Now you're just exaggerating. Nothing 'fanciful' about it, no. ;P So true. After a first read of the 4e PH, I was thinking 'wow, d20 modern is going to be sooo much better, now.' Nope. Not that Ultramodern wasn't good, but there could have been so much more if they'd let the system loose. Some of the ways in which 4e didn't quite have the 'D&D feelz' actually made it ideally suited for other genres, especially cinematic/action takes on them. [/QUOTE]
