[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 3477681, member: 70"] Hey Blu! Long time no see! I suspect exactly the opposite. WotC's releases over the past 2 years only make sense to me if WotC's next edition release isn't 4e at all - it's 3.5 Revised, or Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. Frankly, I -want- a PH and DMG upgraded to match the PH2, Magic Item Compendium, and Complete Mage...and a MM in the new stat block style. And the Rules Compendium doesn't seem like a product to release just before you change the rules. If that's the case, WotC will either update the SRD in one fell swoop, or keep ignoring it, which won't matter to people that really get into it. Nearly every concept WotC has been exploring exists elsewhere in OGC-land (alot of it in Mongoose-world, actually - sucky editing, but pretty good for "throwing-every-rule-variant-you-can-think-of-and-some-you-can't-at-the-wall-and-seeing-what-sticks" writing) I could probably recreate 90-99% of the rules in the PH2 from OGC material I've got on hand. I just don't see the value for WotC in abandoning 3.5e, rules-wise. The name, yes - I've always thought "3.5" was a terrible thing to call it. But the rules? No. [/QUOTE]
