In the "White Book" as it were, you state that you want there to be a shoe string budget, with no extra books, no splat, no campaign guides, or anything of the sort. Yet later on, you mention that there will be a variety of creation tool books that will come out to help you design your own pantheons and worlds. Then later on you say that there will be the "Orange Book" which will include everything ever from every D&D book. I guess I just don't understand why. Why is this necessary? If you want to make your own version of these rules and play with your friends, go ahead, great. If you want them to be posted on here, well there they are, anyone can use them. But reading your other posts about how you dislike 5E's "price gouging" and want it to be public domain and simultaneously want them to create more books and compendiums than they ever have before is very incongruous. You want them to make your cake, give it to you how you like it, without you paying anything, and then let you eat it, and afterwards, for free, change what you don't like about it. You go further to say that you know that everything is copyrighted and this is in no way a challenge to that, but then call your game "Dungeons and Dragons" and use their artwork on the cover. It seems like you like D and D. It seems like you thoroughly enjoy it and the work its creators have done to make it for you. But it also seems that you do not care to reward them for that, which is, frankly, terrible.</blockquote>
