[QUOTE="Henry, post: 371327, member: 158"] I have to disagree, but I feel I should point something out here. The OGL was the best thing ever to happen to D&D settings as a whole. Ryan Dancey and All other individuals who were instrumental in bringing the OGL and d20 STL to fruition should be praised for this reason. As opposed to lamenting the settings you have lost, I would urge you to look at the settings you have gained, all at no loss of money to the creators of D&D: Want a pirate-based setting? Try Green Ronin's Freeport setting. Want a post-apocalyptic setting? Try RPGObject's Darwin's World d20 Game. Want a world that has fantastic yet consistent flavor? Try Kenzerco's Kalamar setting. Want a historical setting? Try Earth 1066 by Earth1066, LLC. Want something totally off the wall? Try Oathbound by Bastion Press. ENWorld's d20 resource pages contain dozens of campaign settings compatible with D&D for our gaming pleasure. All of these are fully fleshed out, designed by gamers like you and me, and best of all are all perfectly legal to be on the market. It has never been a better time to be a D&D player, in my opinion. I strongly urge you to check out some of the alternatives to WotC's handling of existing settings and products. Even Dark Sun and Planescape had to start somewhere. :) [/QUOTE]
