Yeah, I know there are paranoid freaks, but THIS GUYFrom what little contact I've had with Wizards, it seems that they do occasionally make private e-mail statements that have little if anything to do with what they'll say with any official capacity--like when they post on this list. There's a big difference between "what they're talking about" and "what they're going to do," and they've got a such a significant investment of goodwill with us (and especially the pros like you, Clark) that I doubt we (and by that, I mean "all you pros and us lucky lurkers") would be left out of 'the loop'.
claimed to have seen a private email on the topic. I
find that hard to believe.
I personally can't think of a reason for Wizards to recind the Gentleperson's agreement, but neither can I think of any compelling reason for them to extend it to anything short of D&D 4th edition. When they want third-party support for a product launch (like they did with D&D's core books), they'll likely contact the industry ahead of time and set up another NDA'd list (like they did for d20-Modern.) When they don't, they'll probably just let the rules wait until they (eventually) get into the SRD.
Someone needs to step up and explain himself.Feel free to e-mail the person yourself, Clark. His name, according to the e-mail that you responded to, is Bert Knabe and his e-mail address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
