Message: <blockquote data-quote="bushfire" data-source="post: 436834" data-attributes="member: 347">The key word was "eventually". If I remember right from the unofficial "poll" on the OGL list the ELH was ranked as #1 and the splatbooks near the bottom of what publishers wanted next  in the SRD.What a lot of people seem to be forgetting is that the OGL & SRD was not made to *primarily* benefit the players, any more than the GNU/open source software concept directly benefits the end user of computer programs.The D20/OGL was created so that 3rd party publishers could create products that supported and drove the sale of the Wotc Core Rulebooks. The players only benefit indirectly from having more publishers creating more "ideas" that fit the D20 ruleset.I would think that any time Wotc is deciding what next to release to the SRD they are looking at several things.- Will this increase the sale of books (Wotc books only!)?- Will this dilute the value of our current books/settings?- How hard (read time/money) will it be to strip out Wotc IP to make it open?- Is this something D20 publishers want/need/are asking for in the SRD?I have no idea how Wotc is prioritizing the above but I bet at the bottom of the listis where the players/fans wishes are.</blockquote>
