GSL FAQ up

We'll probably never know how much, but I'd like to say thank you to everyone at Wizards who worked to get a less restrictive clause in.

Well said. With all this discussion, it might seem that we are actually unhappy that the license was changed...

The old saw, "can't please all the people all the time" comes to mind. If WotC gets "nigh-rebellious" down to "mildly unhappy," they're some of the most successful people I've ever seen.

Jonah told the Ninevahns, "Repent or God will kill you!"

They repented. God didn't kill them.

This annoyed Jonah.

So it goes.

I suspect that these last few weeks were used by the lawyers to tweak the license a little. We'll probably never know how much, but I'd like to say thank you to everyone at Wizards who worked to get a less restrictive clause in.

Post #65 of this very thread suggests otherwise.

That post suggests that Orcus (Clark) was misinformed.

My statements are always written at face value. If anyone thinks there's room for misinterpretation or that my answers are ever unclear feel free to ask me to expound. I'll answer as best I can.

This is the part that baffles me: no one has asked me to follow up on the last question. No one wants to know about my 4e character? Come on - I'm dying to tell you all about her!

 

[Simon Marks]

Tell me about your character, please.

(I find it hard to write that sentence in a non-sarky tone of voice. Take it from me, I really do want to know about your charcater! Really!)

Actually I wouldn't mind knowing about some of the crazy off the wall characters that are played at WotC, I mean come on you work at a place that encourages geekiness, bring on the concepts

So was there ever a "poison pill" provision, or was the person who spoke to Clark misinformed or wrong?

Ok, ok, ok, tell us about your character.

I didn't ask simply because I assumed you had said all you could. With that out of the way, I am curious. Has the GSL changed in any way the last two weeks. And when I use the word change, I do mean changes which aren't merely punctuation or change a word for one that is synonymous.

Oh, and I want to hear about your character. A class/race/feats and powers list would be nice

I am overall very pleased with the way things have developed regarding the GSL. It could have been much, much more restrictive. I'm glad WotC decided to ease these restrictions.

It is a bummer that Sinister Adventures, one of my new favorite publishers, will seemingly have its ambitious plans dampened by the GSL, though.

EDIT: And Kobold Quarterly, of course.
