Message: <blockquote data-quote="Scars Unseen" data-source="post: 8882063" data-attributes="member: 10196">It depends on the level of "acceptability" we're talking.  To avoid a scorched earth, self-harming boycott where I won't even buy material from older editions they have for PoD on DriveThruRPG and trying to convince anyone I ever game with again to do the same?  Publicly scrapping 1.1 in total, and a show of intent not to invalidate 1.0a and earlier versions.  If they want to make a GSL for 1D&D that only harms the 3pp space around the newest edition, that's their prerogative.To get me to actually consider buying into 1D&D on whatever merits it may or may not possess as a product?  They need to first do a full 180 of intent and fully enshrine the OGL with a new version that closes any loopholes they thought to exploit in 1.1 that protects all earlier editions of D&D and 3pp created for them - including editions not currently included in the OGL - and let that stand as a legacy license that anyone can use.  At that point, again, I'm fine with them trying whatever license they want going forward with new content, because the legacy of D&D would be as protected as it can be at that point.  WotC's D&D would just be another option among many (it already is, but this would cement that status), and the only people truly harmed by Hasbro's bad decisions would be Hasbro's shareholders.And that's really it.  Protect the OGL's intent, and then they can do what they want otherwise.</blockquote>
