[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 6897539, member: 12731"] If only there were a way to write the OGL/SRD so that... ...those other guys were actually limited to adventure modules... and not, say, complete rewrites of the rules... ...any products had to be printed (on dead trees) and not just released as PDF. It is precisely because actual print products are so much more expensive, you can't afford to release hogwash. Not to say all d20 print adventures were good, but I can't imagine being able to release as PDF only helps with quality control... To shift back from nostalgia to constructive approach, yes, the biggest problem (for me) with DMsG is the lack of transparency. The little discussion of an adventure module there is, is often limited to useless gushing by fanboys. I have [B]never[/B] seen the width and breadth of comprehensive discussion that we regularly afford to WotC's print modules of any DMsG module IIRC. Is this purely because it isn't 1st party official material? Or purely because it's PDF. I don't think so - I think only print products from WotC itself gain that kind of attention. Therefore I want print products from WotC itself :) [/QUOTE]
