[QUOTE="PapersAndPaychecks, post: 2944772, member: 28854"] Those who don't care about the ruleset from the game we grew up playing, and see it as superseded, won't see any effect at all from OSRIC. Likewise those who only download freebie .pdf's won't see much difference if any (although I hope that OSRIC will encourage the production of some of those). But there are clearly people who want to produce printed materials based on OSRIC-like rules. Rob Kuntz is one of them -- but he's fortunate enough to have access to the CU ruleset which enables him to do that. Expeditious Retreat, from the post above, is another, and OSRIC is stimulating Expeditious Retreat into producing printed material for the system. Based on Rob's sales through pre-order, there's clearly a demand for paid, printed OSRIC-like material. OSRIC is intended to have a similar effect to the OGL, in allowing anyone to make it. For people who care about that, the market will indeed be changed forever! And that's what I meant by my post on DF. [/QUOTE]
