For a long time I was very anti-OGL only products--though mostly for a business and marketing reason. They didnt make sense to me. If you were making a D&D based product (which you would be if it was OGL only, for the most part) why in the world would you not want to use the d20 logo and tap that market presence? Particularly when you could just do character creation under the OGL as a free download on your web site. Getting an IP like EQ would be a reason that there would be no need to tap the d20 marketing power--since you were tapping the EQ logo instead.I did make statements about OGL only products saying I was unsure about them before Ryan chimed in and said that he was surprised there werent more OGL only products. Once he said that, I was a bit less worried about an OGL only product being percieved as doing an "end around" the license. Which is why I dropped a <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> in my earlier response.The licenses are clearly written to allow OGL only products. I know others will disagree, but I think EQ or another similar high-profile, identifiable property, would be about the only reason to do a OGL only product. Dont tell Faust, since he is hard at work on Earth1066. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Clark</blockquote>
