[QUOTE="Michael Linke, post: 8889695, member: 6873682"] If WotC's stance here is "we always intended for the OGL to empower small studios, not to provide our competitors with unfettered access to our game systems", and the way they're handling that is to let small publishers sell $750k worth of product in a year... I take back what I said earlier. This license is completely fine. If you're a medium sized publisher selling more than $750k, but not quite enough to stand on your own two feet without access to OGC resources, then maybe split up into seperate entities, each operating under the $750k limit? The only potentially worrying part then is the idea that WotC can use your content for themselves in the future. I bet the intent here was for WotC to user your novel MECHANICS in the future, not that WotC would gain the right to use original or licensed IP that happens to appear in your products, and if it really is just about permission to use mechanics, i'm once again actually not worried about this.
