[QUOTE="Henry, post: 1221438, member: 158"] Doubtlessly the rules will be, as most OGL products out there, with anything conceivably product identity being closed, like place names, setting concepts, etc. But if the Lords of Troll are following the 1e-fans' complaints and wishes, one of the most argumentative things among them is that WotC has not released the 1e and 2e rules as open content; therefore, making material for these genres cannot be done on any kind of paid commision, and are on legally untested ground, to boot. An OGL game with the strengths of 3E and the charm and feel of 1E would be a product that could possibly have a lot of mileage in front of it. I guarantee that such a product would be a big convention-circuit hit, because it would be easier to teach to new gamers looking for something to "take home" with them. 3E is fun to play, but imagine the first-time gamer discovering the thrill of RPG's, and then having to take $90.00 worth of books home with him or her! It may succeed for Troll Lords, where the D&D adventure boxed game failed for WotC. [/QUOTE]
