You can tell the blogger is not a lawyer. First of all, there is no longer a d20 license. Second fo all, the OGL is a license entered into with WotC. WotC is 100% within its rights to deny you ever entering into one licensing agreement with them if you enter into a differenet licensing agreement...

d20 is officially D-E-A-D dead. 3.0 and 3.5 are officially OOP. The OGL lives on.

Hat Trick Rogue would be worse because he'd have to wear ice skates.

There's a guy from the Gleemax boards that is using the Magic Set Editor to create power cards for 4E: http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=1060034

Edited because it's just not worth it.

Now you're just being a power gamer. :cool:

But WotC says the D&D minis aren't for the D&D players, they're for the D&D Miniatures players. /sarcasm The "collectible" model works for WotC. The OP just spent $550 to get one Dragonborn mini. I'd bet they realize more profit and probably more overall revenue from the minis than they do...

I ran an all elf campaign when 2E first came out. It was cool then. It got boring when everybody and their brother did it.

Sucessfully launching DDI with the features they've been touting for the past year would be a compelling reason for me to consider a switch to 4E. It wouldn't mean I'd switch, but there would be a compelling reason to consider it. As I've said before, D&D has forked. One fork will be...

So where's the flippin' demo for 4E?

Maybe not in YOUR D&D, but there is still a Lawful Neutral aligment in MY D&D. :D

This simple fact does more to entice me to 4E than anything else I have seen.

Thanks for the clarification. It does, however, limit what can be put into such products. That's the carrot of the GSL. The stick is the fact that WotC can nullify the GSL at any time.

Sorry, did not mean to fork this thread.

Hugely interesting. It looks to me that Paizo is in a good position to become the de facto source fo canon for the continuation of 3.5 (e.g. "Pathfinder is 3.75"). That could make Paizo a huge player in the industry.

Not really. IT's not 4E content then and cannot be sold as 4E content. The example presented is moot given the nature of a settlement between TSR/WotC and KenzerCo years ago over some reprinted comics. KenzerCo doens't ply by the GSL rules like every other publisher out there.

HOLY COW! I plumb forgot about the "Dragon Archive CD-ROM" debacle and how there was some sort of a settlement for Kenzer to have certain rights over it. Seems TSR reprinted the Knights of the Dinner Table run in the Dragon MAgazine without permission, and it ended up in a settlement. That...

Well said, and even the portents of the goose liver I'm looking at can be altered by furture entrails. For example, given the nature of the GSL, I am disinclined to purchase 4E at this time. If my misginvings are proven wrong after October 1, I can always jump on the bandwagon then.

The problem with fan sites would be exclusively related to copyright and would center around images, if you ask me.

The way the licensing was worded in the example, if the GSL was altered to preclude use of the CC, then the product in question would have nothing covered under the CC.
