I wasnt saying you were trying to do that. I was simply trying to empathize with seachai that it is annoying when things liek that do happen (not suggesting you were actually doing that). I for one was not "misled" since I remember when Monte wrote that. :) I dont want to speak for others but I...

Yeah, but you have to buy and I like sushi--lots of sushi. Oh, and Seanchi is coming along :)

Sure. Other than a "preview buy in" that they already announced, my money goes that there will be a publically available license for free.

Nope. I checked my first few products and my memory is confirmed. We were operating under draft versions of all the licenses back then. The OGL and STL were not finalized (and then of course later the stl was famously updated post-BoEF). But it is fair to say that the SRD was MORE of a work in...

OK, I say 4E is open, to some degree such as a GSL. Maybe not all the way as the OGL. But I dont think it will just be by super-secret individual licenses. Dinner at GenCon. Takers?

Yes, I do. Good question. And I guess we'll just see whether or not my faith is well placed or not. I still think it is primarily a Wizards/D&D question. I dont think the dreaded "Hasbro suits" are as involved as people like to speculate. That is just my feeling from my conversations with...

LOL. Ack! Then I would actually be responsible!!!! Its so much easier to sit on the sidelines and complain! No, I'm kidding. I do really enjoy the OGL and its legal implications. It is an intersting experiment to me. I really enjoy it. In fact, as I mentioned before, I have drafted several...

1. How did you know it was 2 years old if you didnt read it? 2. I dont care a lick if you believe me or not. 3. Yes, in my opinion his "blog" post that I referenced is 100% correct. I dont disagree with any part of it. Not that I can tell. So, I think, that means I agree with 100% of it. I think...

I'm sure one day I will. :) Though I guess your post reminds of 2nd grade: "If you love him so much, why dont you kiss him!" I'm not sure how it follows that because I respect Monte I should leave the industry. But hey, one man's logic is another mans... well, I dont know what that is. I'm...

Of course, what you fail to mention is that that article from two years ago appears to be exactly 100% accurate :) Believe me, Monte is opinionated and not afraid to share. If he had revised his opinion, you would know. I dont approve of people passing of an old post as a new though...

Didnt you read in the DMG? 1st level monsters stay in the 1st level monster part of the world, which is by the 1st level villages. 5th level monsters stay in the 5th level part of the world. 10th level monsters...you get the drift. If the 10th level monsters went to the 1st level part of the...

You were right! That was a crazy idea. (1) Nick cleared things up, it is not even remotely the way teh OP summarized it, and (2) your assertion that there is "Paizo increasingly hostile treatment of WotC" is simply not true. So yes, that was a crazy idea. Of course, if this irresponsible...

+1 Agreed 100%. It is the only responsible thing to do.

Very funny :) You know I am all about pdf publishing. Necro got its start that way. What I dont like is the crazy rumor mongering and hearsay upon hearsay stuff that gets out and then people say "hey, didnt I read somewhere that Wizards fired all their employees who had ever read a d20...

Yeah, did you even get Nick's permission to blab his comments to you on the net? Does he know how you summarized what he said? Does he even agree with your summary of his comments? This is so irresponsible. Mods, I agree with the OPs call to delete this thread. Not that I have any pull. Just...

See, this is what I am talking about. The OP's rank hearsay and speculation has now fed into this having something to do with the GSL. This doesnt seem to have anything to do with the GSL. This is how crappy information gets out thanks to the net. We should know better.

Lets not forget that Nick just announced his own design studio.

It is way out of control to tie this to OGL/GSL. Lets not feed that fire. That has enough fuel without speculation. Come on, people. Please. Clark

Guys, Not to be critical of the OP, but this is some pretty serious hearsay. I am NOT comfortable trusting someone else's summary of things they were told a third party said. And you shouldnt be either. Plus, the OP then piles on with rank speculation based on hearsay. Please put the breaks...

Very funny, DM! Everyone -- Wizards representatives included -- should read this column by Monte Cook: http://www.montecook.com/cgi-bin/page.cgi?mc_los_155 I;m not sure how a person could be more right. Monte is a great guy. It was my pleasure to work in the same group of companies with him...
