Would Anyone Use The 4th Edition Rules If They Were NOT The Dungeons and Dragons System?
“Dungeons and Dragons” is more than a game, it is a cultural phenomenon. Many, if not most gamers, have fond memories of playing this game in their childhood. It was the first RPG I ever played and I played it off and on for 25 years. The very name “Dungeons and Dragons” wears a warm [...]
My Thoughts on the Game System License from Wizards of the Coast

Herolab Adds Authoring Kit– D&D Insider Winces in Pain
Herolab, the excellent character generation and combat management software package from Lone Wolf Development just added an authoring kit. The kit allows users to add their own data files (ie game systems) without having to buy a download from Lone Wolf.
