Mercule said:Again, quite true. But... My first encounter with the PPH was meeting up with an old college buddy who was quite proud of the fact that his extended gaming group of 10-12 people all used only the PPH and wouldn't buy any product from WotC because they were "too corporate", whatever that means. I've also seen several people on these boards and others trumpet the fact that they only use the HTML SRD and intended on doing the same with 4e.
A business threat to WotC? I doubt it. But both are pretty rude.
But you can't have it both ways
On the one hand, you have raised an opinion that the PPH was rude and disrespectful.
On the other, we have been talking about 3rd parties hoarding their own Open Content.
So, which is it? If 3rd parties should give up their Open Content (and , yes, they should), then surely the same applies to WotC? Or should Open Content be relatively closed, and so both WotC and 3rd parties can relax about other people using their material?
Eh, eh?
