    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    You don't know and I don't know. In absence of anything definitive about how the 1.1 idea came to be, we won't know for certain until somebody there at WotC defends it publicly now or writes a book years from now.

    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    And where did I state companies are accepting of internal criticism? Sure, we're not going to hear from anybody inside WotC who disagreed with the decision. It doesn't mean they weren't all for it. Edit: it also doesn't rule out the staff coming up with the idea.

    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    Have you ever heard of MCI? Do you know where their product "Friends and Family" came from? It came from one of the staff. It was not a top down decision from McGowan and his executives. Every business I've ever worked for encouraged everyone employed there to come up with ideas to generate...

    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    It matters to me. How do we know the staff didn't come up with the idea and present it to management? I'll blame them if they were on board with it.

    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    Do we have any idea what 'Perkins' thinks about revoking the original OGL?

    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    Eventually you run out of people to sell your core rulebooks to. If you want to keep your folks employed you have to look at creating new editions of the game. I don't begrudge them that ever, but I do have a problem with repealing the OGL everybody has been using. It's silly in a way in that...

    And many of us have disposable income and buy RPGs.

    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    That and if he had created an OGL for D&D back before TSR bought him out/sent him packing, he could have kept on making D&D products for sale instead of Dangerous Journeys (or as I call it, 'The Game of Unpronounceable Words' which in turn got crushed by his exit agreement.

    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    I've purchased a lot of wizkids minis in the past year. I won't purchase any more from them as long as they have a D&D license...assuming the original OGL is invalidated by WotC. I'll let wizkids know too.

    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    I downloaded everything in my drivethrurpg library that had the OGL this past weekend. Took a while.

    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    I disagree though it's hard for you or me to know what they are thinking.

    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    I suspect it's more like "Hasbro's lawyers seem to think nobody will argue back."

    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    How about the waves of great quality products that flooded the market? WotC would never have produced those products. The hobby will be diminished without those people making content useable with D&D.

    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    If they go ahead with abolishing OGL 1.0, I won't pay to see the movie.

    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    I haven't read all 41 pages of this, but if this has not been mentioned... If you have any products in your online libraries (drivethrurpg, dmsguild, etc) that have the OGL 1.0a, I suggest you download them before the 13th. We could wake on the 14th and find that all of those products have been...

    D&D 3.x Besides Nar Demonbinder, Sublime Chord and Hallowed Mage, anybody know of other PrCs like these?

    Thanks, Alzrius. I know the Ur-Priest (and Blighter), but those have 1st through 9th level spells. I'm looking for ones that function like the 3 I mentioned. Basically you start out as a spellcaster of some type, then take the PrC and end up with a new list of spells and spell progression...

    D&D 3.x Besides Nar Demonbinder, Sublime Chord and Hallowed Mage, anybody know of other PrCs like these?

    We have the above three prestige classes that have spellcasting requirements, but introduce their own spellcasting progression starting with higher level spells instead of cantrips or 1st level spells. The three I listed above start with 4th level spells. Anybody know of any prestige classes...

    D&D 3.x Is Vicious Venues and other 3.5 WoTC free content still available ?

    Once you click on any of these links you can navigate through most of what WotC had up for 3.x.

    D&D 3.x Green Ronin Huge Bundle, almost everything, $700+ for $30. Including the Freeport campaign.

    I own several of the products in that bundle, but went ahead and bought the bundle for the rest of them. Still playing 3.5 here.

    D&D 3.x Working with the Half-Fiend Template

    Hi All, I'm looking for clarification on how the half-fiend template (Half-Fiend :: d20srd.org) works as it applies to a human npc/pc. For the list of abilities below, is the HD based on the base creature (human with 1 HD) and therefore limited to Darkness 3/day or does the half-fiend human...
