Hi everyone. Glad to answer questions. We are certainly NOT dead (though as Necromancer Games I'm not sure even death would stop us). We are in limbo, though, that is for sure. And as a company run by people with extraordinarily lucrative and successful day jobs, Bill and I have the luxury of...

My pleasure. Listen, I understand that argument that the license allegedly doesnt on its face permit termination at will and it hasnt been amended to permit it (which ignores the possibility that, as a license, it is freely revocable at any time), and whether or not it is revocable, Wizards...

If I am one of the two BIGGEST third party publishers, who is this other one that you are referring to?

There is nothing inherently wrong with that position, though I would imagine those who want to take that position also take the position that the current d20STL doesnt provide for termination except in case of breach (arguably) so not only havent they officially stated it is revoked but they...

I agree with this 100%. I certainly treated Scott's announcement as termination. I appreciated the sell-off period, because that was not required. I considered that a nice gesture. If we continue to sell hard stock, we will sticker over the logo. We have asked OBS to remove the d20 logo from our...

Please dont reference me in any way in support for your position. Please dont try to infer what I care or dont care about. You dont know what you are talking about. They have the right to terminate and have terminated the d20 license. I am in the process of scrubbing logos now. The fact it may...

You are right. I COULD just close my eyes and say "its just like shooting twice, its just like shooting twice, dont let it bother you." But in a way it isnt. Just ignoring the fluff to me isnt he answer. I agree I could. Here is why I dont like to just ignore it: First off, because that isnt...

I probably should have done just that. My bad... But that would require me to be alot smarter than I acually am. :) Clark

Here's the thing, my tune hasnt changed. Its just how people are interpreting my tune. I support 4E. I play 4E. I support advancements to the game. I support growth and development of the game. I happen to feel the soul of D&D was captured in AD&D, but I dont want to play AD&D. I like the new...

Goodness gracious, I dont hate 4E :) I like 4E. I do think it is missing something--the 1E feel that I love. The "soul", if you will. I had the same issue with 3E. Heck, Necro came into being because I wanted to put that feel back into 3E. I loved 3E too. I just happen to feel that to restore...

I think I agree with you too. I wasnt saying that 4E is no longer an RPG. I mean, that would be crazy. Of course its an RPG. My concern is that it has too much reliance on the grid and that stifles options, in my opinion. It feels too much like a mini game, or maybe I should say it has too many...

That is an excellent summary of my views. I was speaking very personally among friends. Some of the things I dont like might be great for most other people. I was speaking purely of my style of play and preferences. Heck, I think I said some of the same stuff about 3E. I mean, look at our...

So what you are saying is 4E is just like 1E where the PCs use up their powers (previously called spells :) ) and then have to sleep in the dungeon? :)Sounds like D&D to me...

Thanks Morrus. Boy, that was easy :)

Hey Scott, I hope I wasnt speaking out of school in describing that process generally. I just couldnt take the misinformation any more. Not sure why it bothers me. You're a big boy and can handle it yourself :) You know I am hoping big time that you can pull this off... I am dying to support...

What are you talking about? I never said there are no lawyers involved. I said it was Scott and Linae and legal. Legal is the legal department, which has lawyers. I'm not sure what I said that made you think there arent lawyers involved. All I see from you is wild speculation, misstatement (or...

I'm not sure what you are talking about when you say "The fact is that the GSL got done fairly quickly." That is not true. The GSL revisions are Scott's baby. He and Linae were working on it. Now its just him. Then it goes to legal. But other than legal it is my understanding there is no other...

What happened to all the old OGL/d20/4E/GSL threads? Clark

[Actually, nevermind] Clark

Very disappointing. But I'm getting used to that, unfortunately. I'm still hopeful that Scott will make it happen. He and I had some constructive hypothetical discussions on what needs to change some time back and I hope those happen, even if it is much later than anticipated by any reasonable...
