[QUOTE="dmccoy1693, post: 3858314, member: 51747"] The part that you quoted Mona wrote, not me. (As Mona said earlier, "Give credit where credit is due.") Why not do it now? Because the D&D community is being wiened off the OGL (has been ever since the release of 3.5), but is not off it entirely. The backlash Wizards got from pulling Dungeon and Dragon proved that. But now with that inhouse and with an online game that is (probably) WotC only, and with the rarity of WotC OGC (that may continue in 4.0) could work into WotC's favor to convert more of the player base into WotC book of the month clubbers. Bingo. [b]EDITTED:[/b] Fire your old customers that believe in the OGL by "bungling" certain public relations things with a popular 3rd party company (Dungeon and Dragon), replace them with new ones by reenvisioning the game and removing some aspects that OGC (gnomes, bards), and release those one time OGC reenvisioned as non-OGC and much "cooler" then some 3rd party company that tried to release their own that stayed true to the 3.5 version. This teachs the new edition customers that WotC is the place to go for your gaming content and to ignore those pesky 3rd party companies since they don't have all the cool toys and are stuck with the PHB.
