[QUOTE="BlueFin, post: 8935139, member: 7040011"] The point of 1.2 is they left the door gapingly open, in multiple clauses, to go ahead and do all of that at some future point, or indeed to completely pull the rug out of anyone who used that license by voiding it - pretty much at any time they wanted. Like I said, it was more dishonest than 1.1 because of they insidious way they were trying to do, or at least leaving the possibility to do, those same things. Unfortunately the level of distrust they have created with me is I still ask myself “where is the trap“? Sure, releasing to the CC is a fantastic thing and a great move. But by leaving 1.0a “untouched“ they (to me, and at this point), are still leaving the door open to try to deauthorise it in the future. That would change of course if they do go ahead and release the 3.5 SRD into CC but that is unknown at this point. By continuing to be disingenuous with many of his answers (IMO) KB is not changing my opinion that they are going to try ‘something’ in the future. And I am ‘devastated’ by it all - in a sense. I mean it doesn’t affect my personal life or my happiness or whatever, and I am happily moving on to a bunch of other games. But I have loved watching the popularity of D&D explode over the last decade - like many, I started playing in the 80s when it was much maligned, and those who played were often bullied for being nerds and whatever. So seeing D&D become what it has has been wonderful. I have been especially excited by the prospect of a hopefully decent movie and maybe tv series. But now wotc have gone and sh*t all over it and for me, they have poisoned the well. Right before what should have been an amazing few years with the movie, 1D&D and the 50th anniversary and all that. What idiots. [/QUOTE]
