[QUOTE="SlyDoubt, post: 5777109, member: 6667337"] Is there any specific reason wizards can't produce updated versions of the 1e - 3e handbooks/dmg/monster manuals? legally I mean. I half expected them to decide to simply start producing pathfinderesque adventures for previous editions and just make some kind of single volume resource for each edition. That would be actually giving everyone what they want... However, 'new' sells really well. I wonder what enworld's traffic is like since the announcement. probably higher than normal as players/dms who have stepped away return to check things out (myself). 'New' is a money grab tactic though and quickly runs its course (4E) so they're really going to have to put their noodles together and making something substantial. not just essential essentials. Edit: I really like the idea posted above about pursuing digital tools for playing at the table. especially for wizard type characters who, when just starting out, will be doing a ton of referencing which really bogs play down. wotc should really pursue this angle. they avoid it because they really hate the idea of anything non-subscription based and digital since it can be pirated. as long as they price it appropriately I am confident players will support the product. what a dream it would be for all my players with some kind of device (phone, ipod, ipad, whatever) to be able to have both rules reference and character sheet wrapped into one program. they really need to go this route.
