And you're treating corporate executives like they understand the difference between correlation and causation. While I do want to believe that Wizards is a company that is a different kind of company than most of Corporate America, I vividly remember Scott Rouse in a candid moment here on these...

Exactly what I was talking about. Thank you.

You're absolutely right to ask this question and it is a good one. I think more than anything else that Pathfinder is proof positive that that Wizards absolutely should use the OGL for 5e. I know what you're thinking: I'm crazy. Wrong. I'm thinking like a corporate executive. What does a...

"The tighter you tighten your grip, Tark, the more star systems will slip through your fingers."

As the publisher of the Book of the River Nations, the book that many people told me that it saved their Kingmaker game, yes, Paizo has benefited from the OGL. All I did was repackage the exploration, kingdom building, and mass combat rules in one player friendly book, clean them up, add a few...

we could, but we're not. We're playing nice. I know i had a discussion with the people of my company about making products for the playtest, but ultimately we decided to play nice, sit on the side lines and encourage Wizards to take an open route with the final version. I am sure that my company...

Thanks, but no thanks. ;)

In this scenario ... no. As a small press designer, I don't have any interest in making a complete game. Here's why, I have a day job. I have a family and a kid. I don't have crazy amounts of time on my hands. I recently release a 68-page monster book for Pathfinder this past GenCon. When did...

... post deleted. I was ninjaed.

Advantages to Wizards: 1) greater exposure. Which is better: A) 1 company with a huge budget doing all the advertising and product creation or B) 1 company with a huge budget doing all the major advertising and product creation while 100 other companies produce products for your game that you do...

I disagree with an approvals process. I like Savage Worlds. but ultimately, I don't produce for SW because of the approvals process. I don't want someone having any kind of say over what I produce (outside of reasonable guidelines like I mentioned above). Sure SW doesn't have any kind of...

Same here.

Wizards isn't dumb. They have seen that migration of publishers migrate to Pathfinder or their own systems. They have seen all the good designers of the past few years either work directly for Paizo or are working on a compatible basis for Paizo. They know that Mearls came out of the OGL market...

Try hitting the link at the top of the post. It takes you to the same thing but easier to read. I change ENWorld to a white background a long time ago. It really makes the whole site so much easier to read.

I posted a new blog post on my blog at Wizards. Today, we are talking about the Licensing, OGL and Getting D&D Compatible Publishers Involved. Read more at the link or here below. While everyone is focused on the last D&D Playtest Packet, I would like to talk to offer Wizards some unsolicited...

Agreed, I think it is more of a test while they have the chance then anything else.

Why does your post remind me of a monty python spanish inquisition sketch? ;) :p :?

I don't think there will be subraces of humans and for good reason. If a dark-skinned human is made, then there is fuel for those that want to say that that subrace is "not a proper human" or is "inferior" or whatever. But you can make all the subraces of elves and dwarves and gnomes you want...

This week in my weekly blog talking about the D&D 5e playtest, I am looking at subraces and how subraces will provide structure when varying up a race. Also, I post two new subraces. Please read them over and tell us what you think. Their descriptions are short, but if you like the basic...
