To be fair to WotC, this was part of the point of the OGL from the beginning. To have other publishers put out products that WotC could not or would not do, in order to grow support for the core game. It seems to be working, despite the folks within Hasbro's corporate hierarchy that are not fans of "open gaming".There are also many publishers willing to try things that WOTC won't try. WOTC isn't going to put out a 600 page city sourcebook like Ptolus. They're not going to put out a 1,000 page campaign adventure like Crown of the Oathbreaker or an equally-huge high-level adventure like Torrents of the Spellhoarder. They're not going to put out the tons of awesome small black-and-white products like Raging Swan put out or the totally different slices of exploration, travel, and character origins that Cubicle 7 did with A Life Well Lived and Uncharted Journeys.
I went in the opposite direction with regards to A5e. It was the first RPG that I had ever backed on Kickstarter.I was not involved in A5E in any way. I followed none of the threads on it, did no testing, gave no feedback. I did order it as soon as it was available as a purely blind purchase to support this website.
