(Much about the game had changed and expanded and new options had been added, but the core experience of playing a fighter or wizard in 2007 was pretty much the same as playing a fighter or wizard in 1974. In 2008, that fundamentally changed.)But I can't really get into some kind of "fiery pitchfork" mode about it because, like the OP said, it hasn't really changed the game I'm playing (and will continue to play). If the OGL didn't exist it might have had a more significant impact (since I do like supplementing my own creative work with the creative work of others in the form of supplements and modules), but since the OGL has allowed high quality 3.x material to continue being produced it really has been largely irrelevant to my personal gaming.</blockquote>
