[QUOTE="sidonunspa, post: 6355066, member: 4360"] No because the 4e "ogl" (I forget what they called it) possessed a "poison pill" which allowed WoTC to pull the license at any time, on a case by case bases... that kept most companies from publishing 4e material. In essece, At any moment, WoTC could say "sorry, you can't sell that book anymore...and no, we don't care that you printed 5,000 of them." [I]it presented too much of a risk.[/I] by the time 13th age was out (pushing the envelope) 5e was already in production, as such 13th age was not seen as a threat to the future product line. 5e possesses a way for them to make some money, quick money at that... they will sell out at GenCon. They can print 1,000 of each and be sure to run out of them before convention end. | [I]I think[/I] Goodman is producing a cheap product, using the old OGL, to test the waters.[I] I think[/I] they want to see how far they can go before they get a S&D letter from WoTC.
