"republishing old editions. cant say anything yet but there are plans." - from WotC at GenCon.
Who knows what this really means. Maybe they will just bring back the pdf's, which I'd be very happy with. Maybe they'll actually do a print version of something, which would be awesome. I find it interesting that they are even considering it, though. I suspect 4e is doing even worse than I had imagined.
What would tick me off is if they just reprint 3.5 in an effort to screw over Paizo. I wouldn't be at all surprised by it if they did, though. Supposedly, Pathfinder sales have been neck-and-neck with 4e sales, and possibly even beating 4e during some months.
After going back and playing a 3.5 game at the beginning of the month, I'd be surprised if most players would want to go back to it after playing PF, but I wouldn't put it past WotC to try. I'm thrilled that they would go back to make older stuff available again, though.
ReplyDeleteI think the ship has sailed. Considering how WotC has done with licensing, who'd want to get back in bed with them?
