If you read my post I did not assign the knowledge as blame. I asked Scott who was responsible for the GSL, like Ryan was for the OGL. I asked because Charles Ryan wanted us to stop talking about nameless suits. The point I was getting at, in addition to actually wanting to know the info, was to...

It does relate because it is about WotC's change in direction from the 3E OGL days back to seeming TSR days of C&Ds. The change in direction seems noticeable. By the way any desire to name who in particular is responsible for the GSL like Ryan Dancey took credit for the OGL. That way we can stop...

There is a final GSL out there. It is official. Scott keeps saying they are revising it but no such revision has been released, therefore we have a GSL that is the way it is right now. If you want to say it isn't final, then it never will be because like the OGL and the d20STL they are still...

In order to say whether he deserved it or not you have to look at the other nominees for comparison and then factor politics in as well. James Brolin - Milk Robert Downey jr. - Tropic Thunder Philip Seymour Hoffman - Doubt Heath Ledger - The Dark Knight Michael Shannon - Revolutionary Road The...

Not from my personal interpretation of the marketing of 4E. 3E=Bad was what it sounded like to me. The GSL is not doing things better, it is doing things so radicly different that the GSL =/= OGL in any way. But then people differ.

Well I did think of how they can reboot this year. Ando has the power-magnification power so you either jack up the Haitian or Matt and get them to do a mind-wipe on the world.

This sounds to me like it fell out of favor. You say during your time opinions about it varied. You also say that with hindsight how you (plural) might have implemented it differently. It sounds like those with negative opinions eventually won the battle and that the GSL is the result of making...

Well said SteveC

Except that Medium has far far superior writers and caters to the general audience far better than a supers show. Medium succeeds in part because it is a show about real people (unlike Heroes post 1st season) with real problems. Mom is not an emaciated stick figure, the daughters are not all...

No. Ryan Dancy said both that the OGL would raise the tide and float all boats, and that the OGL would protect the game forever against changes that people didn't like. The OGL did increase the pie for everyone, but Hasbro has decided to make drastic changes and has a different opinion of open...

And still pushed through the OGL before leaving the company.

You say that like it isn't a possibility that they only have 2 programmers.:D

Straight to video costs are allot cheaper. If sci-Fi can make sequels as part of its Saturday Night Lineup then the costs to do a sequel are cheep indeed.

Well things wen't mostly as people predicted. Slumdog came up one short of sweeping and the Best Actor category was always a two person race beween Rouke and Penn.

Another reason for the OGL. The OGL saved money on lawyer fees for WotC. Whatever profits 4E makes, they will now be reduced by whatever they have to pay lawyers to protect their now closed IP. With the OGL there was alot less infriingement to worry about legally.

Almost always is the right phrasing. Sure WotC has deep pockets, but how deep and how much of those deep pockets are they willing to spend and for what. There risk is who they decide to go after. If the person, like myself, believes in what they are doing and has the money to fight back they may...

Except there is plenty of evidence that Peter Adkinson was more interested in saving the game than buying another brand to expand his empire. Sure he wanted to make money as well, but the purchase of TSR was as a White Knight wanting to protect the brand from being auctioned off in the...

Its not whether the OGL worked or not, that can be debated forever. It is more whether the execs currently in charge think it worked or not. Since the effects of the OGL are so difficult to put hard numbers too personal opinion and personal business philosophy are what will end up carrying the day.

Shouldn't be an issue for you but I thought I would point out as well that most conventions also ban military uniforms from WWII on unless they are official uniforms being worn by Active Duty Military.

Thank you, but I am serious. I still am not seeing where the show is going. If it is about bringing down the Dollhouse, or Alpha or Echo keeping her memories, then fine but I don't need 1/2 the show being Echo on assignment. If it is supposed to be a Dushku action vehicle it is wasting too...
