[QUOTE="Orcus, post: 4134255, member: 1254"] I know. I just talked to Stewart Wieck from White Wolf just a few minutes ago. I was recounting some of the stuff here with him. My worry that someone at Wizards might be too shortsighted to see the value to Wizards of open gaming. Here is what Stewart Wieck, the president of WW, the primary competitor of D&D said: Clark: "I dont know why anyone who had any experience with 3E and the OGL would think it was bad for Wizards. I think it kept people playing D&D rather than peeling off to other systems." Stew: "Of course it did! All the freakin' companies in the industry put their time into 3e books instead of new systems!" That was from an email, from Wizard's primary competitor at the time. It doesnt get any more clear than that. Open gaming takes competitors and makes them supporters. And it keeps people playing D&D instead of other systems. And it keeps competitors making D&D products instead of other systems. Wizards, read your own findings! Study your own market research!
