[QUOTE="RFisher, post: 3478513, member: 3608"] The OGL/d20L thing created some strong companies, because they had to be strong to survive it. It also taught them to work together. I don't think a lack of liberal licensing for a new D&D edition would hurt these companies as much as the OGL & d20L helped them. Arguably they were never going to reach the Wizards customers who don't see past Wizards, & they've already made a name for themselves among those customers the d20L did bring to them. In fact, increasing the differentiation between them & Wizards might actually help them at this point. Especially if Wizards takes--as some posit--a new D&D edition in directions that some people feel is more away from what they'd call a role-playing game. Using the OGL d20 game (not "The d20 System(tm)") (both modern & fantasy), the True20 system, M&M, OGL RuneQuest, C&C, &c.; continuing to work together; increasing co-operation... I'm starting to get excited about a possible closed D&D 4e. (^_^) [/QUOTE]
