[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 5272077, member: 48965"] Just not seeing how this is a requirement for success? They have to make a system, just to make a system, regardless of whether it is necessary or needed in order to be considered successful by some? IMO, making the decision on whether this is necessary or not is the real key to success... perhaps WotC couldn't make the OGL work for them... but if Paizo can, I think that speaks volumes about their success. As far as making something that is their own... they do that with every adventure path they put out. I also disagree with the shared world analogy, if anything Paizo is using the foundation of the OGL and definitely building their own world, rules, adventures, etc. around it. Are they really sitting on 3e's laurels. Again, I would say it takes more business savy to come up with the products and process to revitalize a system that the largest rpg company in the biz has procalimed "dead" and is actively competing against... than you are giving them credit for.
