Whisperfoot said:I can't believe that of all people, I'm defending the line of reasoning you are condemning. The problem is not that WotC will be releasing a new game. The problem is that so many people have so much invested with 3rd edition that they may not be willing to abandon it because WotC decides to hit the reset button.
Yep.
There has been a lot of focus on what impact a hypothetical 4E would have on the OGL.
I think the OGL would have a larger impact on 4E than the other way around.
If 4E were not backward compatible it would face an obstacle to conversion that pretty much no RPG game has ever encountered before.
There will always be the "boycott the greedy jerks" contingent. I'm not part of that at all. More power to them, get rich guys, I'm pulling for ya!!!!
But if 4E doesn't fit with what I've already got I just don't see any reason to bother.
Unless its just mind-blowing awesome. (Which it won't be)
