[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 8910224, member: 7035894"] Let's talk about it. (I know it has come up in many other threads, but I thought a more focused discussion could be useful). My thinking is that there is a lot of potential here that could resolve some of the issues arising from the OGL debacle, which has created an huge rift between WotC and the 3PP creative community, not to mention fans. In another thread, I suggested that one benefit of Creator Product Badge could be potential access to DnDBeyond (DDB). I feel that this could be a win-win-win for all sides. It allows WotC to keep approved products in their ecosystem, and it brings another revenue stream to them, since they would be able to negotiate a royalty or other fee for access to DDB. It gives 3PP, for whom distribution is always a challenge, potential access to a huge marketplace. And it gives fans much readier access to 3PP in a way that is really integrated with their WotC material. As another poster recognized, this could also solve the "morality clause" issue, because instead of insisting on a morality clause for use of the basic OGL, which raises a host of potential problems, WotC could simply insist that to get their Creator Product Badge you have to meet their standards. I don't think anyone would have a problem with this. What are other ways that the Creator Product Badge could be used to benefit WotC, 3PP, and/or fans? [/QUOTE]
