So, why not give the "small percentage of fans" the $110 dollars back? The organizers have clearly made it known that they are aware of the problem and are seeking to compensate those who were overcharged. If I was a customer who was in this situation, I'd expect no less than the $110 refund...

Will that be the opening line of your business plan? :) You see the problem here, right?

I get it. I hoped for more information and you adamantly said that we'd hear nothing. You posted again and again in no uncertain terms that NOTHING would be heard or known in the way of a WotC announcement of anything because "no panels" were being held. You claimed there'd be no...

Maybe but I think the "Basic Rules" might have been good enough early on with an OGL on the horizon, even if distant. The deeper the game gets, the less adequate that is as a basis for (not, wink-wink) claiming compatibility with the World's Most Populace Roleplaying Game (tm, i.e., e.g., PhD...

Look, I wanted to know from WotC if there was movement on the OGL front and hoped they say something during Gen Con. So, goalpost-moving to "major" aside, they made sure to make mention of it in their stack of Gen Con-timed announcements via the podcast interview. FWIW, I think it is pretty...

You don't think that the podcast interview and the movie announcement that came during and right after Gen Con were timed because of Gen Con? If you really need to be right, I guess we can say that they weren't timed with Gen Con in mind, but it does seem to be a bit of a coincidence that they...

You do to legally put them out there for folks to buy. And forget about people making money. Nobody would really make any real money selling 3PP 5E stuff anymore than they would or do sell 3PP stuff for any other system. So the whole diatribe earlier about "we need to question whether you...

That's cynical. More likely that the folks that want to write for 5E are also playing 5E. If 5E is the most popular game, it stands to reason that since a percentage of all players are writers then more writers play 5E than any other game. Unless it is your contention that 5E isn't the most...

Paizo.com is a big place. Easier for the guy making the claim to be able to find it quickly and provide a link supporting his claims. He might recall details of who was in the conversation or some key phrases that would making a Google search with a Paizo.com tag a cinch for him while someone...

Still at it?

The Whispering Woodwind The lives of ordinary people seldom touch our own in significant ways until we choose to become involved. It seems that Contel, the Bard, has quit his day job, skipping out on a sizable debt. When an astute innkeeper of questionable practices enlists the help of heroes...

Thanks, MerricB! I figured they'd have to address it in some manner with Gen Con going. It's not a flat out "No" and it implies something more akin tot he GSL than the OGL, so I think this spells the end for any OGL possibilities for 5E. That's very sad, IMO. I guess this is the big news...

Day Three of the WotC Gen Con OGL Announcement Watch has come and gone. And so begins Day Four . . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAu4TajHYLk

So, they're having meetings and, even though it is unlikely, they might make an announcement or press release. I've got it now.

Wait. Maybe I am not following you. So, you think it will happen during Gen Con except by press release? Okay, I can see that as a possibility.
