[QUOTE="Orcus, post: 4204397, member: 1254"] I dont think either your position or the one you are responding to is correct. From my perspective (and this is just my perspective), the person who made the mistake (or misspoke or I misunderstood or whatever, or maybe was correct and that view has now been changed) was not just one person. It seems clear there was a (small) camp at Wizards that shared that interpretation. But it is not this evil "were out to kill open gaming" that the poster you were responding to suggests, either. Its somewhere in the middle of that. Are there camps at Wizards that are anti-open gaming? Yes, I believe there are. Are there camps that are very pro open gaming? Yes, that is obvious and that voice is still carrying the day. Frankly, it would be crazy to believe that there wouldnt be different points of view on an issue as big as this. I do agree with you that there is nothing nefarious going on at Wizards. Far from it, in fact. For goodness sake, we're about to have a public license to use D&D content and the name and some version of the logo--for free. THAT didnt even happen back in the golden days of gaming. Is it the OGL? No. But in some ways it is better. This is still a very very significant move and one that should be applauded. [/QUOTE]
