His recipe for bringing D&D to new heights was rerelasing original AD&D (as far as I can remember). He told WotC so and they went with 3rd, d20STL and OGL. So at least he's being consistent.I think he is wrong on many levels, but is entitled to his opinion. The Od&dities in question are number 9 and 10, and they can be found here:<a href="http://www.tongue.fsnet.co.uk/archives.htm" target="_blank">http://www.tongue.fsnet.co.uk/archives.htm</a>On OGL being a failure for WotC: Ryan Dancey posted to a thread on RPGnet where discussion on how the OGL had hurt WotC was going on. It's  sometimes painful, but overall an interesting read. Ryan's posts are some way into the thread.<a href="http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=118888&perpage=30&pagenumber=1" target="_blank">http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=118888&perpage=30&pagenumber=1</a>On 7th Sea: The new books were dual-statted, so the existing 7th Sea players were, as far as I understand, getting new material. It still failed. Probably not because of d20 (there are about 50 or 60 new/revised print rpgs coming out 2004 that are not d20. Which is about the same as during the late 90's and early 00's).Cheers!Maggan</blockquote>
