[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8898367, member: 7030563"] WOTC's claims in writing they only have 2 reasons for crafting a new OGL: 1. Be good stewards of the game 2. Benefit the fans If these are really their goals it would seem that signing on to the OCR is the best way to do this. It is undoubtedly what the fanbase wants and it will enable them to still influence the RPG community instead of fracturing it. Another important benefit is it would make "trust" irrelevant. Since the OCR will not be a WOTC license they will not be in the position of having to convince fans and creators that they can be trusted. At this point even if they say[I] "Ok we are just going to leave 1.0a in place" [/I]who is to say this won't happen again. Moving to the OCR is the best way forward for them and if their motives are as altruistic as they claim there is no reason not to. [/QUOTE]
