[QUOTE="Kez Darksun, post: 4317692, member: 54789"] Just a quick note on the whole OGL/GSL situation as far as it concerns me as a consumer. What the revelation of the GSL has done for me is to make me once again excited about the various 3rd party publishers and their products. I'm still interested in seeing what more 4th edition has to offer in the coming months, and I know I'll get products for 4th edition, but what I realized is that one of the things I really value about 3.x D&D is the OGL and all the material people have come up with to support it. I had heard about Pathfinder when the Alpha first came out, but I hadn't payed much attention to it. Once I saw the GSL and remembered all the cool products I purchased from OGL publishers, I went out and signed up on Paizo's boards so I could download the Alpha and see what it was all about, then I went out and picked up pretty much everything from Dreamscarred Press since I really enjoy Psionics and I wanted to see what they had developed for Psionics. It will be interesting to see what people come up with for 4th edition products in the coming months, and while I'm looking forward to seeing the fruits of their creativity for 4th edition, I'm glad there will also be work continuing to be done under the OGL also by some of the same creators. Hrm...probably more suited to the how does the GSL affect me thread, but was in here when I wanted to post my thoughts and hadn't seen/read that thread yet. If a mod wants to move my post there, thats fine. Don't want to cross post. [/QUOTE]
