[QUOTE="Sir Brennen, post: 3919703, member: 553"] Man, I hope this isn't the case. Necromancer did well with their slogan and approach, but I think any company trying to "replicate" 3rd edition via the new rules is going to have a hard row to hoe. Mainly because many 3X grognards won't have the same nostalgia about their edition that those who played 1st edition did. How can they? The game is still current right now. Many neo-grognards will be such more for the change in mechanics than "feeling", and what's really the point of trying to replicate old mechanics with the new ones? I also don't like the idea that 3rd party publishers will only exist to "fill in the holes" the new system is already perceived to have. Or just rehashing their past successes. The 4E independent publisher that will be the most interesting in my eyes will be the ones that take a look at the new edition, and realize what new places they could take us to. I think there's going to be plenty of "extensibility" in the new edition for some really talented and imaginative designers to shine, without trying to appeal the limited audience of those that only grudgingly came to the new edition, or not at all.
