What about this aspect in your analysis?Anyway, I won't try an analysis myself but just note this: Would there be only D&D and other different game systems, I would probably have bought no more D&D books than I have, then turned to a new game system. Currently, I have bought so many d20 books, that I don't want to try another kind of system. However, I am mainly buying third party publishers books rather than WotC books. So what? In my case it's not sure that the OGL has had a positive or negative influence on my purchase of WotC products. I think that the OGL encouraged to have more (many more) gaming supplements produced, but then had no real effects on increasing or decreasing WotC sales.</blockquote>
