[QUOTE="Viktyr Gehrig, post: 5770021, member: 9249"] We'll just see about that! As far as 5e being OGL, I think it would be tremendously good for Wizards, like it was tremendously good for them with 3e and it has been tremendously good for Paizo, and it would be tremendously good for both the community and the industry as a whole. It's really the direction that we all need to be moving in if we wish to survive in the face of piracy and competition from increasingly sophisticated video games. But that's not the direction that Wizards is going to go. Not right now. The OGL didn't do what they [b]wanted[/b] it to do-- shuffle all the low-volume, low-margin stuff onto 3PP-- so they pretty much got rid of everyone who thought it was a good idea in the first place. To my admittedly very limited knowledge, there isn't a single serious advocate of the OGL in WotC management right now, and the Hasbro people were opposed to the OGL all along. edit: Nope. You can report your own posts just fine. I've reported this post, so hopefully the mods will see that it needs to be moved to New Horizons. Also, hopefully, they won't ban me for the incessant trolling and asshattery that I reported myself for. [/QUOTE]
