[QUOTE="glass, post: 8919560, member: 12251"] [SIZE=1](Half way through the thread, but if I don't do something with the quotes I have accumulated I'll have forgotten why I quoted them by the time I get to the end...).[/SIZE] That maybe true if all you care about is the 5e SRD. For anyone who cares about the vast library of non-5e OGC accumulated over the last 23 years, CC does literally nothing (or at least, pretty damn close to it). It has fallen well short of mine (while still being better than I really expected). Even before this, there were plenty of signs that it was not going to be as compatible as they were billing it. We obviously do not know for sure, but most people seem to be assuming that ORC will be specifically designed for RPGs and will have features similar to the OGL that CC lacks. Nothing except memories of the bloody nose they just got...which will inevitably fade. I will be very surprised. People in this thread (at least some of whom really should not bettter) are declaring this a complete victory already, so why should they offer any more concessions? The irony being that this time it is actually much closer to true than it was when they said it (not that that makes it appropriate language for an official statement, of course). Since those edge cases are entirely the result of WotC's own stupidity and malice? Literally all of them, obviously! They may be similar, but 3e had both as separate monsters. "Need" in the sense that it is the only way to be sure that WotC will not try to pull this again five, ten, or twenty years down the road. [/QUOTE]
