[QUOTE="grimslade, post: 4143283, member: 6061"] There's not a lot of 4E info hitting the pages but we have a pub date when we will sate our appetites. The GSL is vaporware at this point. There is precious little to go on except to parse out every consonant and vowel of every utterance (Thank you Linnae for giving us new fodder ;>P). There are strong proponents for either side of the issue, so there is a brisk patter of posts. It makes for a fun topic. I don't think, ultimately, the GSL will make or break 4E. It is irrelevant in the scheme of things as far as D&D goes. For my own personal enjoyment I want the GSL to come out so I can use all the great stuff Clark and Scott at Necromancer will produce for 4E. I want to see some 4E Goodman Games mods. I want to see a 4E era breakout company and play their take on the rules I will use. Whether there is a GSL or not, I will pick up the core 3 for 4E. WHether I continue to buy 4E products will depend on the quality of the products produced. THe GSL increases the possibility that I will find something to my taste going forward. A GSL with healthy participation keeps me in the habit of buying D&D material. That is the biggest boon of the OGL boom. There was so much material that people got into a regular habit of dropping $20 -$40 bucks every so often on D&D stuff. So no statistical proof only my own anecdote of why I hope there is a GSL and soon. [/QUOTE]
