I don't necessarily disagree with you. As a matter of fact, I expected the GSL to be more restrictive. My complaints, as of the last day or two, have been based upon the fear that there MIGHT (very small chance, to be sure) not be ANY license at all, or that it will be too restrictive to allow...

So, you're saying that open gaming is a bad idea? You don't think that it's in WotC's best interests to maintain a strong 3rd party support base?

I think they should have allowed JD to become a playtester. An NDA would work on him as well as anyone. He shouldn't have been given a spot automatically as a former employee, but it would have been wise to make him a playtester due to his influence in the community. But, hey, what's done is...

Yeah, I just provided some notes on what I've done so far, for myself. :) For the project as it seems to be being developed, I would just cut that dragonborn stuff out of my post completely. Same with the Tiefling info. It was just how I made the two races interesting for my own table. I wasn't...

I don't agree, Ari. I respect you a great deal but I would see such a move as a major step towards the TSR way of doing business. Would it end DnD? Of course not. The OGL is still out there. ;)

Clark, you have a fantastic way of hoping for the best. :) Great post. I'll hold off on saying anything further, for now. I hope those guys at WotC who are supporters of Open Gaming manage to talk some kind of sense to whoever is fighting the idea. I wish Scott and Linae much luck. Scott...

A half-elf with an At-Will ability to be used as an Encounter ability would be fine ... provided they received something else as well. If that's it, if that's the extent of their bonus, then it would be pretty lame by comparison. Add in a few features similar to the Elven abilities, though, and...

I want to add my voice to Clark's, here: I don't think WotC will nix a good GSL (I've just been very annoyed at their unprofessional delays). Why do I think they will produce an effective GSL? Because I don't think WotC can possibly be that ignorant. I don't think it's really possible to drop...

Yeah, my ideas weren't very helpful, just the direction the idea took me. I found the concept interesting enough to take it to an extreme. :)

It's a very interesting idea. I'm curious to see how others respond. I'm unsure whether I'd be enthused enough to partake in it myself, but I'd definitely support anyone who wanted to give it a go. And, just because I'm working on it now, let me explain where the POL idea took me for my own...

No, I understand, and certainly wasn't trying to leap to any defense. I was just saying that I see how he thought it was an unknown 3rd party product. Obviously how he reacted to that assumption is what led to his ban, not the assumption itself. It's all good.

Yeah, it happens. I'd never heard of it either.

I like the way you think. ;)

Yeah, I don't think they're targeting us with their marketing plans, whatever they are; we're already talking about 4E. We already know about the game and are asking questions, discussing what we know. I want to know what WotC is doing to let the REST of the world know about the game. I know a...

I think that Monsters Marking PCs is my least favorite thing about combat so far, as a DM. I plan on limiting the monsters capable of Marking per encounter UNTIL I get used to the rules enough to start using more. I'm HOPING that practice will make it easier. I don't imagine why it wouldn't...

<insert conspiracy theory here>

No one's paid any money yet as far as I know.

Haha, thanks. :)

I'm sure other people ran their games differently, but the concept, for my group, began with 1E. Remember the 02% chance to have your Patron God show up to help you (or punish you, depending) if you called out for help? I've seen that roll succeed five times, though we used to do it for...

Ah, thanks TerraDave! I knew I'd seen that before and remembered that we're in the midst of the DnD marketing campaign's "kick off". So, I'm just waiting for it to kick off; in places other than DnD message boards, I mean. :)
