Aervenia.

But I am a fan of Ravenloft and the Forgotten Realms (minus the dual-scimitar-wielding drow and epic-level NPC's and... pretty much everything 3e did to FR).

WotC has canceled every single license that has come up in the last few years. The reasoning has become obvious recently: 4th edition. I'm sure they don't want other companies producing 3.x material which would compete with their overpriced 4e books.

I think rogue is more general and basic, and it can refer to a wider variety to character types (similar to Fighter or Warrior).
