[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 4380175, member: 23977"] I wouldn't go that far with it. I'd say it's more along the lines of WoTC not caring if you go for it or not. I think it's designed along the lines of, "If you want to design for D&D, and make money off of our stuff, awesome, here are the rules... If it's too much, and you don't want to play... no skin off our backs." I think the stuff with OGL is more about keeping 4e out of the OGL, and preventing their game from being used to build a compnay, who then intends to bounce off and start competing with them. If you want to design for D&D cool... But if you do, you should intend to keep doing so. (At least as far as the products you make for D&D are concerned.) I also, however, don't think they're going to go all draconian on people, provided those people are supporting D&D. Like Kenzer: The product is going Copyright, but is designed to support D&D, so- awesome, win win. Of course, I'm just a guy on a message board... so they're just my thoughts, take them as you will! :D [/QUOTE]
