[QUOTE="Hairfoot, post: 4974273, member: 23732"] Thanks for the link. That's all 3E stuff. The last feats update was 4 months after 4E's release, but I'm assuming that it was violating the OGL before that. In that regard, we can't ignore the fact that while 3E was initially published by a company [URL="http://dir.salon.com/story/tech/feature/2001/03/23/wizards/index.html"]run by gamers, [I]for [/I]gamers[/URL], 4E is published by a large entertainment corporation that will pursue profits in the most efficient manner possible, which the withdrawal of the OGL seems to indicate clearly. I have very little confidence that Dandello's page would still be up if it contained 4E material. I don't think the tolerance of old WotC can be trusted as an indicator of Hasbro's future behaviour, so it will be interesting to see if it attempts to clamp down on unofficial creativity. [/QUOTE]
