[QUOTE="Orcus, post: 305125, member: 1254"] Yes. And, as I mentioned, possibly the EQ RPG as well since that is only OGL, not d20. That just isnt correct. Do WotC books contain some content that also happens to be in the SRD? Yes. Are they constrained to follow the licenses? No. That makes a big difference. It guarantees that they are content leaders. We cant use the content in new and different ways until the content is in the SRD (or the gentleperson's agreement). And I am not asking for WotC to be kept out. I am saying any product that is not produced under either the OGL or d20 licenses should not be considered for an ENnie. When WotC makes a product under either of the licenses, that product can be considered. To date it has not done so. Thus, since it has not created any d20 products under the license it should also not be eligible for Best Publisher--since it doesnt publish products under the license. When they do, they can be considered. ENworld needs to decide what these awards stand for. If these are the 3E awards, then my comments above are not applicable. If they are the d20 awards, then that should mean "uses the d20 license" or WotC has an unfair advantage. And what about purely OGL, non-d20 products? To me (and maybe I am wrong) the Ennies are the opposite of the Origins awards. The Ennies are for d20. Let WotC's products win Origins awards. But until they use the licenses we all have to use, then those products shouldnt be considered for ENnies. Clark [/QUOTE]
