Something like EA is worth $35B, they might swing it... Or they might 'merge'. There are many, many truly horrific scenario's to consider! ;-)

Because (as far as I remember) this was initiated due to the mess that WotC was apparently making of Magic: The Gathering. Keep in mind that Magic is Wizards Golden Goose and not D&D (more like an ugly duckling). It seems that this triggered a milking that seems to kill their fowl to get as much...

Unless we know what Copper or Ademantite seller means, I think it would be kinda useless. It would also mean different things, a product that has been Ademantite for a year is very different for one that has been around for 20 years...

I think it should be, as that is the better long term gain. BUT I wonder how many will go back to the old/new OGL if/when they see that they can work/profit from it. That is assuming that WotC/Hasbro doesn't just ram a lawsuit down somene's throat that claims that the works they've made are...

I mean for a business to make drastic changes to their business model. In the case of WotC/Hasbro to do the backpedaling it has shown (for now). In the case of Enworld to have had their last WOIN kickstarter almost three years ago and 25 A5E/5E kickstarters since... I mean how well does it...

That directly explains why MG is on the list... I'm purposefully not talking about specific writers/artists, I'm talking about 'publishers'. And while Jason Bulmahn might be a great lead designer at Paizo, does that make him an excellent writer/businessman? I haven't read the Minotaur Games...

DMsGuild is D&D. The 1500+ 'publishers', I assume, are (former) OGL 'publishers'. The reason I brought up DMsGuild publications is the fear of lack of D&D (compatible) material, there is no lack of D&D material. And while I have my doubts about the quality of the majority of the material, that...

How many of those 1500+ 'publishers' are 'relevant'? Of the sixty that actually were listed, there are already some truly tiny 'publishers' in there. Look at Minotaur Games a tiny operation, even on DTRPG they only have 24 products, some of which are even bundles of the other ~20 products...

Illegal implies that some sort of law is being broken... Which one would that be? I think this is just a contract dispute, where which possibly WotC is in the wrong, I certainly hope so! But who exactly is going to take WotC to court over this? I suspect 99,99999999% of the people won't. I can...

I think you underestimate the amount of people that don't give a F about the OGL or very restrictive and extreme profit sharing schemes. As long as they can make/share D&D stuff, they are fine with it! Just look at the dmsguild.com site, over 31,000 products (in 7 years) there under way more...

Maybe don't try to determine for the rest of us what we understood or not. No, I understood exactly what you're saying. I'm just saying that you're interpretation of the events is wrong*. 'We' did not convince WotC of anything, certain entities had that pull with WotC/Hasbro, not the 'we' sheep...

'We' is not a single entity, 'we' is a bunch of people who say one thing and do a multitude of other things in reality. 'We' are a vocal minority on the Internets that just makes a lot of noise and not very consistent noise at that. 'We' are a legion of sheep... IF 'we' look at who has the most...

I'm starting to think that there's a Paizo mole in the upper echelons of WotC... ;-) The amount of business opportunities WotC is creating for Paizo (specifically) is tremendous! Dungeon/Dragon discontinuation => Paizo Adventure Paths D&D 3.5E to 4E transition => Paizo Pathfinder OGL...

And let's not forget T20 (Traveller 20), not published by Mongoose, but a D20 version of Traveller...

While the original Cyberpunk dates from 1988 and Shadowrun dates from 1989, a year later. I wonder if they just have a common origin with Bladerunner/Akira and the like, instead of SR building on the Cyberpunk (1988) game. A year for designing, writing, art, layout, printing, etc. for the tome...

And there are people who like Big Brother, etc. There is no accounting for taste... Just personal preferences! ;-) I have most, 2E, all of 3e and 4e. 4e I actually didn't like, but bought it mostly because it was D&D, I didn't like what they did with most of the settings. So I was really...

Sooo.... When wil the Empire/WotC/Hasbro blow up their first rebel planet/company? If we're going with the SW theming here... As for the Paizo ORC license, let's first see what/how/if that happens. All the good intentions in the world doesn't bend reality. And the assumption that such an ORC...

Disney might actually have enough spare change lying around the couch to buy Paizo as an April Fools day joke... Better be careful what you joke about, someone might actually be listening... ;)

The problem with the Microsoft Store was not the label, it was not the prices, it was just that it was a horrible store! And it wasn't just the store, the Xbox (store) interface was also absolutely horrible! And that's from someone that's in IT for 20+ years, eyeball deep in MS products. But MS...

What! Your party doesn't have a 10-foot pole!?!? Make a saving throw vs. Death this instant! FAILED! Start rolling new characters and LEARN from this! ;)
