[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 6331074, member: 996"] Short answer: No. Long answer: the GSL that allows 3pp 4e products is /very/ different from the OGL that enabled Pathfinder. A 3pp wanting to do a 4.75 would have to actually sign up to do it with WotC, and WotC could pull that license and kill the product at any time. The GSL is also subject to be pulled, entirely, ending any vestiges of support for 4e, completely. So anyone trying it would have to be a very gutsy 'nothing to lose' type, and how likely is that kind of effort to produce a worthy successor? Tangent: No, 13A is in no way a 4e-clone or successor. Like 5e, it's a step backward from 4e towards earlier eds, just a smaller step. Actually, you could start a lot of statements about 13A with 'like 5e,' without being unfair, because the two, though quite different in execution and attitude, really /do/ a lot of similar things for a lot of the same reasons. Well, it wouldn't be entirely fair, since 13A was first. [/QUOTE]
