[QUOTE="graypariah, post: 7659761, member: 6789912"] I am very saddened to see this. I did not use the tool myself (nor was I even aware about it) but for me it makes me wonder if they truly intend to release a usable OGL for 5th edition. Even a polite request for someone to take something down that in a few months would have been compliant seems unnecessary unless one of two things is true. A) They don't intend to release an OGL at all or B) they intend to release their own version of the product [I]before[/I] the OGL. This isn't a case where in a few years they will release an OGL, we were led to believe that it will be released in the spring or summer. There is such a thing as looking the other way. A business can prohibit something and at the same time not enforce their prohibition, we do it all the time where I work. WotC should have done just that if they truly intended to provide us with an OGL in a few months time. [/QUOTE]
