[QUOTE="Mark CMG, post: 6526081, member: 10479"] I don't think this new position has anything to do with the OGL. The OGL requires no applications or licensing oversight. The OGL needs someone on staff to create OGC or a 5E SRD, which would require them to be a writer/editor and maybe have some legal background or a deep understanding of the OGL over the last decade plus. As near as I can tell, they aren't hiring someone with that expertise. The new position looks more like someone to ride herd over the folks to whom they have granted limited licensing to produce 5E compatible material, perhaps with an eye toward adding a few more. I see no reason to believe this will further the idea of WotC working with the OGL in the 5E era. I have seen nothing done that makes me believe there will be use of the OGL in the 5E era. I have seen only a few lines in interviews that reference the OGL and it being part of the WotC plans for the 5E era and only insofar as to kick the idea down the road. [/QUOTE]
