[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 8917785, member: 6796661"] Also, lots of players want to see D&D succeed, myself included. But part of my picture of success is a thriving ecosystem of third-party creators. WotC has lost nothing from me to third-party publishers. I own [I]everything[/I] WotC has published for 5e in D&D Beyond and also bought a good number of their books in physical form. But I also use (well, at least [I]buy[/I] :)) a lot of third-party content. I pretty much ignore posts expressing schadenfreude or foaming at the mouth about WotC crossing their red line and that they'll never buy another WotC book. Everyone it entitled to their opinions, tastes, and are free to buy from or boycott whatever game publisher they want. But those conversations are neither interesting nor helpful to me personally. I want to continue playing D&D, buying from WotC, and buying 5e-compatible content from third party publishers. So I want to see a good solution. If they can expand the SRD to include most everything that is covered in by the OGL 1a and associated SRDs (and hopefully expand to include content from other editions), fix the language relating to VTTs, and fix (preferably drop, but I don't see that happening) the "no hateful content and conduct" provision, I expect that will preserve the ecosystem enough for me to live in it. If sufficient compromise with third-party publishers can't be reached, then I'll have to see how much content third-party publishers put out that I like and which is compatible with 5e. It remains to be seen whether anyone will play chicken with WotC and stick with the 1a OGL. And it is similarly up in the air on whether the ORC license will be enough for publishers to sell content that I can use in my 5e game. [/QUOTE]
