The license got changed because it was a failure and because people dont like failures. The GSL, as it originally existed, totally failed in all ways to get third parties to support 4E under that license. They werent afraid that people were supporting 4E with non-GSL created products. They took...

Agreed 100%. That first post was rubbish. Frankly, the BOEF was garbage and is EXACTLY the kind of product that content owners make license restrictions for--they dont want their brand affiliated with total crap. So the fact that there is a license that interfers with BOEF means the license is...

I feel bad for Joe and I'm sorry I was so harsh on him, but I had to nip that in the bud right out of the chute. I appreciate where he is coming from. He's right to call attention to the provisions that remains and to let people make up their own minds. But what he doesnt have is actual...

They arent worried about that because that wouldnt work in any event.

Everyone needs to back up. First of all, you cant compare the OGL to the GSL. They arent the same. Really, you should compare the d20 STL to the GSL. And they are basically very much the same. The OGL let you use the SRD without the restrictions or the benefits of the d20 STL. The GSL is...

You hit on the core argument I made to Scott for about an hour on this point. I said that purchasers want stat blocks in their adventures. Because if they dont have them, then they have to go to their MM, copy the stats onto a sheet, slip it in the page of the module, etc. Its harder on the DM...

I sent in my acceptance yesterday. Does that answer your question? ;)

That's all? 2 posts? Come on, people! This is a huge change! Very well done, Scott! I'm glad my faith in you was not misplaced. I knew you would come through. Thanks for fighting to get these changes. I really appreciate it. Where are all the naysayers? I think its time for them to man up...

I fought hard for that change (just ask Scott, I think I bent his ear for nearly an hour on this issue alone some months ago). It makes sense to make the change. But we lost that one. Like you, I wish it would have been fixed but its not a deal breaker. Scott, if you are reading this, thanks...

I wish people would stop saying that like it is true. That is not true, no matter how many times people say it.

Look, there are things that werent changed that I think should have been changed. So dont condescendingly say that since they deigned to make some changes that everyone has to be happy. That isnt the end of the analysis. I think it was a mistake not to make some of the additional changes and...

That is terrible advice. Everyone please disregard it. The revised GSL is a huge improvement and includes many of the changes and suggestions that I specifically, and I am sure others as well, have been calling for for a long time. One of the biggest changes is the "opt out" clause which...

Good! because they are right! There are issues with the magic missile I posted. It was a one-off 5-minute design effort designed to get people talking about how to do what i want to do. The stuff we are posting is the initial discussion. It is not a preview of a coming book. Literally, I want...

Hold on, now! :) I've seen a draft of the revised GSL in the past--or at least a hit list of issues that were potential mods to it. I certainly am not privy to WotC internal documents, for goodness sake. And I have talked with Scott about many of the relevant issues. Bottom line is that I have...

I agree with your post, to some degree. I dont mind the "effect even on a miss" issue. I think that is cool. BUT it has to be balanced so that powers arent better on a miss. But I dont object to the idea that a "miss" can still have a partial success. As for do X damage and move Y spaces, I...

I dont know if it is or isnt, since I havent seen the revised GSL and dont know if it will be finalized. I think it will, but I dont know. Dont know. But I dont think you want to go very crazy. If you did what I propose you would likely have to make it playable either way--with core rules or...

Actually, I happen to think that is EXACTLY the kind of variant stuff that a revised GSL would allow. I have talked to Scott about that very issue and that exact product and he seemed receptive and excited. In fact, I spoke to him recently to re-confirm my excitement and intent to use a revised...

I LOVE that album. And even though I play guitar, I am more Gene Simmons.

Apology accepted.

By the way, I know this may seem inconcievable to some people, but I have no problem supporting BOTH Pathfinder AND 4E (not in the same product, most likely). I dont feel the need to choose between them. I think Wizards fragmented the playing base and I think there are people who like the Old...
