Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rasyr" data-source="post: 1949802" data-attributes="member: 2855">Actually, no it isn't. I have been a supporter of the OGL since the beginning. I was part of the group on Dancey's private email lists who helped to hash it out.When the new ICE formed (remember the old ICE was being killed at about the time that the OGL was first released), it was too late for it to be able to jump into the d20 market, as there were aleady dozens, if not hundreds of companies already in place and flooding the distribution channels. Couple this with ICE's small size, and splitting resources on a completely different system from its house system would have been a bad decision for ICE.Nobody has ever said that ICE will never do anything with OGL products or material. In fact, there are some plans in the works already (cannot talk about them though, at least not yet).However, one thing that a business needs to do is to look at the potential risks. That includes any risks that might be involved with the OGL. Can Hasbro kill it off in some manner? Quite possibly, but it would take effort on their part. SO the question then becomes, would that be worth it for them to expend that effort? That is the question that still needs to be answered, and likely never will until it actually happens.  In all, I try to be optimistically pessimistic about things. I hope for the best, but always expect the worst. That way I can often be pleasantly surpised. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
