[QUOTE="Johnny Wilson, post: 378143, member: 6000"] Just two quick notes: 1) Crazy Mage is correct. I did post somewhere on En World that #300 would not have the see-through spell template. The material we ordered just didn't work the way we thought it would. We're doing a template without the see-through and trying to work a special deal to do a higher quality see-through in the future. I mentioned this in a post where I also said that #300 would not be thicker in the sense of #200. Of course, we deconstructed that page count earlier in this thread. 2) OGL is a very tricky issue for us. You may have noticed that the copyright notice in the masthead of Dragon and Dungeon both claim all rights for Wizards of the Coast. This is because we publish the magazines under license and, like our license with Lucasfilm, Ltd. for Star Wars Insider, the licensor owns all rights in order to protect their intellectual property. As for not seeing the cool stuff in products, WotC R&D is quite good at cherry-picking the good stuff for use in future products. While WotC doesn't want to open the door for every d20 publisher to re-use Dragon content, our former co-workers and continued friends and colleagues are smart enough to be thinking of future products, all the time.
