d20 license & SRD update coming

[Mark]

You're absolutely right, Mark. In the context of just that one message from Charles, it isn't clear, but in makes sense in the context of all the recent threads on that board. Charles comment was in response to requests for info on the next SRD update in other posts on that particular WotC board. I'm sure WotC will be making an official announcement when the updates come though.

I'm sure you're right. I don't follow the actual WotC boards too closely. Too much chaff, for the wheat I'd garner. Pardon me if I came off a bit on the "hot" side (now that I re-read my post). I only meant to make sure that I was also being clear. I want to make sure that I am not also contributing to the chaff.

I'm sorry too for reading too much into anything anyone said.

ah, guess mongoose is exempt.

ok then 2 products remain on my list

The Modern Player's Handbook isn't using the d20 License either.

Ah, I was wondering. Thats actually too bad, I was hoping it would. I know that in the end it doesnt matter and the materials would be just as compatible, but I'd have felt better using it if it was d20 licesenced. Oh well. :-D

correction. No books are left. Green Ronin changed their title as in the other thread.

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

Hello!

It'll be interesting to see the changes, and if they adress any of the problems pointed out when they last changed it, ie no cure period, and stuff like that.

I also remember the uproar among publishers that the last changes (decency standards) came sort of out of the blue, so I also wonder how much they have worked with publishers this time (eg Necromancer) to give people a heads up.

From the GRR announcement it seems as if they've already spoken to those directly affected by the changes, so that's good.

I think it is a good thing that "Player's Handbook" is reserved for the D&D core book. I think it might be confusing for some customers that there are at least... hmmm... four or five books out there called "Player's Handbook". I can imagine anyone non-RPGer trying to buy a present for someone, and only got the description "Player's Handbook"... this might go a little way towards making it less confusing. Even if the Pocket Player's Handbook is still out there, I guess.

Anyways, I hope this is a good sign that Charles Ryan is on top of things, and willing to work with the publishers. But I guess we'll have to wait to see the changes to see how much they listened to the complaints from last time.

Cheers!

M.

Arcana Unearthed

Isn't Arcana Unearthed released as "An Alternative Player's Handbook"? Not part of the title, but...

I feel the other way. I wish more companies would abandon the d20 license and go completely OGL. I love the Pocket Player's Handbook and hope they do versions of the DMG and MM as well.
