[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 5163252, member: 48965"] Good thing the OGL doing nothing for you personally, in no way invalidates what it did for so many other gamers, game companies and the gaming industry. As far as the phrase "drinking Kool-aid" goes, let's not go there when talking about peoples preferences, it is dismissive and insulting... but then you probably knew that already when you chose to word it in such a manner, or were you not aware of the connotations such a phrase carries? It's funny but I would definitely have put... 4. The saving and ressurection of the D&D game and brand, as well as the implementation of the OGL but that's just me, I see the launch and revitalization of a dying D&D by 3e as being just as significant as any of the above. Wow, I must've missed the monoculture that sprang up, because I could still buy plenty of games not based on the d20 system... nWoD books, Runequest, Call of Cthulhu, Unisystem, GURPS, Qin the Warring States, PDQ, Warhammer FRPG, Reign, Savage Worlds, and so on. Perhaps it wasn't so much a monoculture as it was you just overlooked the numerous games out there that weren't OGL based. [/QUOTE]
