And while youre posting here Erik, will Paizo be doing any 4e material at this point? Some of the books Paizo does are almost stat free now and others might take some work but things like Rise of the Runelords which are OOP might be good books to experiement with for 4e.

The content's basically there already, expands Pathfinder's reach, and keeps Pathfinder as Paizo's preferred system for the time being, since the most current Adventure Paths are going to come out for Pathfinder well before anything else.

Until they do: Tales from the Rusty Dragon. Ongoing, complete 4e conversion of the Rise of the Runelords adventure path. Burnt Offerings and The Skinsaw Murders are already finished.
The only race that isn't from a past edition is the Deva. The Goliath, Shifter, Gnome and Half-Orc are all from past ones.
Here's to hoping that future SRD updates won't be so hard to come by.

The new license and FAQ is much clearer, easier to understand and with some examples. I've a better idea what I can and cannot do. Now to sign up and start creating some content.
2$ PDFs here I come...
I wonder if Paizo will jump in? I don't like pathfinder, but their adventures rock.

The revised GSL is a huge improvement and includes many of the changes and suggestions that I specifically, and I am sure others as well, have been calling for for a long time.
.....
This is a big WIN for all involved.
Clark
Eh, I don't think this is a HUGE improvement, especially considering the timeframe involved to make these changes since they were announced on 08/11/2008. I am especially not thrilled about the survivable clauses... To be frank this license looks like it can really screw someone over if they agreed to it and then had a change of heart later.
I mean is Clark Peterson drinking the kool-aid or perhaps he is right, and the GSL is/was so rotten that any improvement can be seen as HUGE. But I can't say it is a bug win... seems like an epic loss to me.

The combat system should be based on the world design. The world design should not be based on the combat system.
My 4 year old ties a towel to her shoulders and pretends to be a superhero. Roleplaying is not between the covers of a book.
As an extension of that, if you tell me that any game is the same just because you roleplay the same, then as far as I am concerned, you don't get the point.

So WotC offers every single person on earth the right to profit by publishing materials based on their IP, but only on their terms, and that's comparable to kicking people in the teeth?

Huh. I was thinking the reverse: let people become entitled enough, and they'll start to expect free licenses that no one is actually required to grant.

Right, but I'm not one of the tinfoil hat brigade who think WotC will use the "terminate at will" clause willy-nilly. They are sensible enough to understand the implications of exercising that clause without good reason.
At lower levels they'd have to rely on it due to lack of options, but at higher levels they can use their more powerful "terminate encounter" abilities more often.
On a more serious note.. I still don't understand why they limit what's in the SRD, instead of just saying "Anything in the books". It's not like they're actually sharing these things with the publishers, they're just letting them say that they exist and where. They can't modify them or put them in their own books, they can't USE things from the SRD, just REFER to them... so there's really no legal reason not to let people have everything. In fact, it gives people more reason to buy the books.. if you published an adventure that used Manual of the Planes content, then more people would have to get insider or manual of the planes in order to use it.
