[QUOTE="mamba, post: 9228096, member: 7034611"] largely agree, it casts a big shadow (many 5e adventures are still inspired by this, if not outright updates) and certainly was the first golden age not sure I see this as a golden age at all. Sure, D&D came back from the dead and the OGL was a great idea that too has relevance until today (even if now in the form of the CC SRD, which we would not have without it). The rules themselves and the adventures of 3e were not that great however imo, so to me this was not a golden age, it simply ensured survival. I see this as the second golden age, this time mostly based on popularity, not so much on innovation the OGL will have had no impact, that is pretty clear by now. Whether the need to squeeze ever more money out of D&D will have a negative effect is tbd. I am not seeing it grow forever or even keep the current level, that is the nature of the game, but what will cause the downturn is wide open. [/QUOTE]
