Important! Interview opportunity - what do you want to know about the GSL?

[Quickleaf]

Can a company having made the switch to 4e produce free d20/3e/Pathfinder conversion material for a 4e product online?

 

[Lizard]

In addition to the above:

Will the GSL be viral?
Will creatures, spells, items, feats, etc from the 3.5 SRD be available for conversion to 4e by 3PP?
How does the GSL apply, if at all, to websites with no ads/revenue?
...to web sites WITH ads/revenue?
...to other forms of internet distribution outside of Gleemax (mailing lists, USENET, ftp, etc)?

 

[Crothian]

I never heard an answer to this in the days of 3e

After so many successful years of D&D why open it up?

What products would WotC like to see come out of the third party publishers that WotC are not able to do themselves?

 

[I'm A Banana]

Will utilities similar to d20SRD.com be prevented from existing under the GSL? Is Wizards planning on filling the void for an easily available, downloadable copy of the rules available both online and off without a fee?

Is there a d20 Modern 2e coming with the next phase that allows non-Fantasy uses?

What's WotC's opinion on the success of the d20 STL?

Can you briefly, in lay-man's terms, tell us about the differences between the new GSL and the old d20 STL?

Products like Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed...are "compatible" things like this that detail alternate character creation and XP mechanics permissible under the GSL? Could they be still published under the OGL without compromising the publisher's ability to make GSL products?

Are products such as the Book of Erotic Fantasy forced to adhere to any 'community standards' or anything similar?

And, yes, because everyone else is also saying it: Can a company publish different products, one under the GSL and another under the OGL?

 

[Lord Mhoram]

Is the restriction on companies who produce GSL material to not publish OGL material restricted to D20SRD based material, or does that affect other game systems released under an/the OGL (such as the Action! System)?

We have a unique opportunity for an exclusive interview about the GSL. Morrus and I will select a handful of questions to ask WotC and get answers. Quick, what are the most important things you want to know?

I'll be submitting a list in approximately an hour from this post.

Thanks, everyone.

"Who set the priorities for the GSL?"

"How much intereference was there in the formation of the GSL from Hasbro?"

 

[The Little Raven]

I think it's been stated that the d20 GSL isn't as complete as the D&DGSL. Does this mean that the d20 GSL will launch after the D&DGSL, and if so, do you have an ETA for that?

 

[Alnag]

What is the intent of GSL? Is WotC trying to have greater share even if the cost is lower profit or the other way around and how is the current GSL strategy support that?

How does the GSL support quality of content of third-party publishers while it sounds so far, that those able and competent with some OGL history will be hindered to do their job and on the other hand noname one-man company can adopt GSL without blink of an eye? How is WotC going to stop yet another d20 system bubble?

 

[Mighty Halfling]

Sorry if these don't pertain to the GSL. I'm not sure if this is an explicitly GSL interview or if the SRD is included ...
Will PHI, DMGI and MMI be the only part of the GSL? Will additional books be added? ... Especially current core classes like the Druid, Barbarian and Monk?
How often will the "system reference document" be updated?
Will "proprietary" items, such as Mind Flayers and Rust Monsters be in the "SRD"?
Will access to the SRD only be granted to DDI subscribers?

 

[Charwoman Gene]

Are Fans really affected by all this Brouhaha in terms of posting stuff online?
