The GSL forbids a 'Pathfinder' for the 4e.And getting back Monte Cook will not help much...IMHO, the 3.x edition changed gaming because of the OGL. Not because the rules were better designed (by MC and others) than 4e or the d20 variants that came later.Monte Cook is one of the guys who thought building in intentional traps into a RPG would increase the fun. He designed Book of Vile Deeds.All his in-house-products were magic centric and left non-spellcasters behind. The two best books of his label (IMHO) were Book of Iron Might abd Iron Heroes, both designed by Michael Mearls, not him.So I predict a backwards step in gaming design and no other company will be able to pick up the great 4e rules. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/cry.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":.-(" title="Cry    :.-(" data-shortname=":.-(" />Please, WotC, once you abandon 4e, make it's rules OGL. Not instantly, to provide a quick competition like Pathfinder, but eventually, for us fans.</blockquote>
