[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 2384292, member: 2067"] Your reasons don't really encompass my own. :p I might buy it, but the OGL has revolutionized gaming as it is. 4e will have to compete for my gaming dollar with things like C&C, M&M, Grim Tales, World of Warcraft, and the hundred and one other gaming systems that have cropped up in one way or another due to the OGL and the SRD. So I would give it a good, hard look. And I would only buy it if it added something to my games that the hundreds of other alternate RPG systems do already. And that, I doubt. If 4e was a tweak of 3e, just adjusting minor things, it wouldn't be really worth it....products do that now. If 4e was an overhaul, changing the system entirely, it might not be worth it because I don't see how you can improve on what has already been done. If 4e was added to the SRD and covered under the OGL and was good, I might do it. Otherwise, why should I spend the extra dough when I have more than WotC to meet my gaming needs these days? I don't DEPEND on them to give me my next D&D supplement. A host of 3rd party out there has me WELL covered. 4e would not only have to give me something unique, it would have to give me something that I could add onto as flexibly as 3e. [/QUOTE]
