[QUOTE="The Sigil, post: 673516, member: 2013"] One final thing: FWIW, this is not meant as a "I'm throwing a tantrum so WotC will put me on the list." To be honest, I wouldn't have time to look over the material at the moment anyway (in less than 12 hours, I will be taking my wife to the hospital for the birth of our second child and that will keep me quite busy). I don't honestly expect much time to work on producing more products for a good 3-6 months! With my son just having turned 2 and now having another baby, does anyone honestly expect me to do more writing? With what time? ;) LOL This is about principle for me, not about business. And perhaps, ultimately, that is the problem. I'm not really into d20 publishing for fame and fortune - I'm in it to share my ideas and by doing so make enough money to pay for my gaming habit - in other words, allowing me to give ideas in exchange for getting ideas in return. If I was in it for the money, I wouldn't do PDFs. I wouldn't have worked with the FanCC. I wouldn't be so outspoken (I'm sure I piss people off on a regular basis with my outspokenness, and that's "not good for business"). As I have said elsewhere, I understand that some are in it for money, some are in it for love, and some (hopefully most publishers) are in it for both. The d20 license, as was mentioned above, IS about making money. That is true. However, I contend the OGL is NOT about making money, but about sharing a game we all love. And the spirit of the OGL, if not the d20 license, is "Open Gaming" - or in other words, a playing field where money and publisher type or even whether you're a publisher at all - are not supposed to be an issue. Open Gaming is supposed to be just that - OPEN to everyone. Wish me luck, and I'll be sure to post pictures tomorrow or Wednesday of the new arrival! :) --The Sigil [/QUOTE]
