[QUOTE="ShinHakkaider, post: 6214770, member: 9213"] See this is the part of the argument that I have huge problems with and it's one that I'm afraid that I cant get past and is and will continue to be a HUGE sticking point. YOU got along just fine without one. I did as well. Although I was patching and creating content for my own games when there was stuff that I wanted to add. I have no interest in spending that much time patching and creating material for RPG's. And am perfectly fine with having other designers and developers doing that. Especially if the designers and developers of the system of origin cant be bothered. A smaller unit (as in a 3rd party company) can get rolling on an idea quicker than a company like WOTC or maybe even Paizo. They can zig and zag where WOTC will have to slow down to stop then turn around. Again, TO YOU. To me the benfits are GREAT. I'm still failing to understand why the OGL is bad for the hobby. Your entire argument seems to hinge on brand loyalty. If I'm not loyal to the brand that youre loyal to then I'm not going to agree with you or really care. Which is the case here. I think that as long as people are creating SOMETHING it's valid. Youre basically saying that if theyre not creating something relevant to YOU it's not valid for the hobby. This is something that I pretty obviously disagree with. Mutants and Masterminds is OGL and it's as valid as hell. I have three Editions of this game. It's a great game and it's OGL. Trailblazer is OGL and was an excellent breakdown of the the 3x system that offered ways to "fix" and "balance" the system and otherwise do things to alter your 3x gaming experience. Youre basically saying that these things are BAD because they dont directly support the brand that you support. I disagree. VEHEMENTLY. So again. You dont want them making things for the game that I want to play. You want them making new things that I may or may not like or even worse things that I'm going to have a difficult time finding players for as opposed to my game of preference. Again, YOU: Stop supporting thier game of choice and do something else. Dungeon World is actually a game I'm interested in playing in but it's pretty much not going to pull me away from Pathfinder. I have NO interest in 13th Age as it seems that it might have too much 4E baggage. And I have no interest in playing or running anything close to 4E again. [/QUOTE]
