[QUOTE="Henry, post: 5774432, member: 158"] One POSITIVE result of all this is me hearing from people I haven't seen or just missed on ENWorld for years. Feels like 2003 all over again! :) A couple of clarifications, though Tinner: That's actually an ENWorld correspondent named Chris who went to Seattle, not Morrus. Also, Mearls in the interview did specify it's an early-early-early version, and the reason for the details blackout is that they still have a long way to go; the implication is also that it's based on feedback they've received over the past two years from across the gaming community, so -- without fan feedback, in my opinion, isn't quite accurate. With the exception of the "liberate its monsters" thing (if they want to keep it, that's cool -- Paizo has shown that everyone else can survive without beholders and mind flayers :) -- I agree with every bit of that. In one of the articles, Mearls (and elsewhere Bruce Cordell) has said they're VERY aware of the role of the OGL in their success in winning fans back; will it mean real change? I dunno, but I'm still pretty hopeful at this point. I just know that Ryan's 2001 prediction about "what would happen if the producers of D&D tried to radically change the game in an OGL world" actually started to come to pass, from 2009 to now. Probably closer to the truth, if I've been reading between the lines of these articles properly. --Henry [/QUOTE]
