[QUOTE="Flynn, post: 4154863, member: 1836"] Good Morning, All: I don't think I'll be following the WOTC definition of Core. I imagine that I'll only allow the WOTC books that have been opened to the OGL/GSL/whatever license, because then there's opportunities to get third-party support (and maybe a chance for me to write a few things on the side). If WOTC doesn't think something should be open, it probably shouldn't be in my game. (The only exception to this would be limiting my games to the three initial core books only, should 4E suddenly go closed for some reason.) I've deliberately made a choice to allow WOTC to define how much money they want me to spend on their products, based solely on their own investment in the Open Gaming concept. I figure that I can play with just the PHB1, and run with the DMG1 and the MM1 (plus my own conversions), so I don't NEED the rest of the books. Since I want to support the Open Gaming concept, I've decided to save myself a few bucks and only buy the books that contain open content, whatever its designation will be. That being said, I do know a good number of people who are excited about 4E simply because they look forward to getting in on the new edition at the ground floor, since they couldn't afford to keep up with v3.5 or 3E. That makes perfect sense to me, and I look forward to watching them grow with 4E over the next few years. With Regards, Flynn [/QUOTE]
