I'm the older grognard that TOTALLY would have gone for at least kicking these tires. High performance graphics VTT for a FRPG? Hells yes! I'm your guy. I would have huffed and puffed and done what I could have to impress the hell out of people with my online stuff. I would have had your jaws dropping with what I could have done with that.But that was then, this is now. I don't care anymore if it works , if it doesn't, or if the business model is good, bad, or indifferent. I don't care if Gary Gygax is flipping in his grave (or not), Dave Arneson's shade is freaking out -- or the ghosts of Leonard Lakofka and Kim Mohan will tag-team haunt Chris Cao's bathroom and turn his pee-pee green with pink polka dots when he's not looking -- or better still, when he is.None of that matters to me anymore. 1.1 was a cynical calculated betrayal and strong-arming of people I personally know in this business. 1.2 was only an improvement in the sense that it tried to screw over less people I know -- while still screwing people I know. There is literally NOTHING they can do to make it better for me now. I understand the business motivations, I really do. That doesn't make it better, or excuse the OGL nonsense.  It was unnecessary for them to do it to succeed with their core business plan -- and it probably will materially HARM their chance of success now.I'm out. I wish utter misery, ruin, and failure upon them all.</blockquote>
