Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kichwas" data-source="post: 98458" data-attributes="member: 891">Why not make it d20?Cause if it was it would not be able to have character creation rules or character development rules in it.Those two aspects are excluded from d20.By not making it d20 they can make it a full game that does not require you to buy anything from WotC to play it.That's why I also feel it could be bad for WotC.If it is successful it could introduce to the hobby a group of new gamers who outnumber us and who are all using an RPG that is not dependant on DnD yet is so close in mechanics to DnD that cross polination can happen; but if they do end up outnumbering us it is more likely that we will be pulled their way than they our way.None of this appears in the OGL. Only in the d20 System Guide.More from the d20 System Guide:The SRD begins with a copy of the OGL. It does NOT contain the d20 License nor the d20 system Guide.So you can 'take it' and use it plus your own rules for character creation and character development if you do not use the d20 license.Thus negating the need for anyone to ever buy a WotC product in order to play your game.If I'm reading this all right that is.</blockquote>
