Ok then, how would you keep the rules in print? If you want a system that works with the existing 3.5 system, like many of its customers want, how would you keep the rules in print? That is the stated goal of PFRPG core book. With as popular as 3.5 is and how much some people dislike 4E, the game is going to stick around and support would continue.
If you were incharge of a company that wanted to keep using the 3.5 rules, how would you do it? Would you ask FLGS to buy back used 3.5 books? Would you rely on Ebay? Would you just release a free PDF with chargen rules?
(And before someone says that the above ideas are good, they might be fine for an indy publisher working out of their basement, they're not good for a company with serious aspirations for long term continued 3.5 support.)
williamhm said:Am I the only one who wants a stricter OGL? Mainly because what pazio is doing has me ticked off. I mean they are using what WOTC did, doing minimal work of their own and publishing it as their product.
I realize that people want to make money, but Id rather see 3rd party publishers publishing their own truly unique games with their own mechanics then see a ton of dnd rip offs.
He, like me, is pissed off when he purchases a book to find that 75% of it's page count is dedicated to a system we already own or could download from the SRD site. Yes, it's permissible and acceptable, but it's a cheap and lazy way to artificially inflate the cover price by reprinting something verbatim to inflate the page count.
