[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 8910091, member: 725"] I think you underestimate the amount of people that don't give a F about the OGL or very restrictive and extreme profit sharing schemes. As long as they can make/share D&D stuff, they are fine with it! Just look at the dmsguild.com site, over 31,000 products (in 7 years) there under way more restrictive licenses then the new OGL would give them. So there's a TON of content that WotC/Hasbro is already monotizing, that they did not make themselves. They just wanted to do the same to all the bigger companies that use(d) the OGL and WotC/Hasbro underestimated how many (bigger) companies would accept that (without a fight)... It hasn't been the 3E situation for a LONG while where WotC didn't do adventures (beyond a few to get the ball rolling). 4E already had a bunch of official D&D WotC adventures, as has 5E, I don't expect OneDnD to change that publishing formula... So the desperation for content from WotC's perspective I don't really see (happening). The license will be there, but more restrictive. So established OGL publishers might not produce under the new license, those voids will be quickly filled by people seeing business opportunities. Especially for the DMsGuild publishers it would be reasonably easy to recycle their product for the new edition. And that's not even talking about all the fan created material outside of these licenses. There was already a TON of fan created material out there before the launch of the OGL. Heck, before the launch of 3E, when it was still Eric Noah's site, I ran "Northern Journey" (fan created campaign) with cobbled together 3E rules, there was already a LOT of stuff out on the internets, that amount has only increased!
