I am an optimist too and I am sure there are some very good people working at WOTC who want this to work. Clark, your actions through all this (with your honesty and releasing Ari's manuscript back to him) are admirable and I think you are a great person with good values. It is awesome the role you fill in the middle of all of this. You have my full support and I wish the best for Necromancer Games. To me your represent everything great in this industry and I hope WOTC's legal department listens to you, Paizo and Green Ronin and this all works out for the best.
Also, I like Scott and Linae to feel they can show themselves here. It seems they got caught off gaurd by some of the downsides of the liscense and I think they are hoping for the best too. Its unfortunate they are caught in the middle of WOTC's legal department overprotecting D&D because they both seem like good people. I wish WOTC would allow them to comment on the status of things.
