[QUOTE="IronWolf, post: 5790568, member: 21076"] Yeah, no numbers from me on how successful it is. It gets great reviews, does what it says it will do and I see it recommended by a lot of people. That's all I have. Keep in mind though, you have about as much for any "position" you've presented. We can carry on a discussion with us both admitting we don't have facts to back it up and this talk is all theory. Frankly, I enjoy discussing theory and subjective ideas to see what other people think and realize they don't have concrete facts to back their viewpoint up. We simply aren't privy to that information on either side. What several of us are saying is that we think it is possible to make money via value-adds even with the rules being OGL. You seem to disagree. But you don't have facts backing up your position either. They could decide to use Hero Lab's 4e generator. Wizards would need to make theirs more valuable and worth paying for. They could likely do it to. Wizards should be able to provide a pretty integrated package and have the resources to back that up. Despite what you said, it isn't easy to make this stuff all work in conjuction. It takes resources to do so. Using Pathfinder again for the reference - all the free character generators lag behind in getting content added even though the content is freely available. It is only the pay for ones that keep up with the content releases Paizo makes and really only one of those is near constantly current to my knowledge. This are the areas where WotC would have an advantage at making their electronic offerings the one to pay for. [/QUOTE]
