[QUOTE="carmachu, post: 4427102, member: 34534"] No your reasoning is flawed. This is ALL of WOTC's bunggling in the GSL fiasco. From the delays to the strictness...without it Pathfinder would not have come about. Assuming for a moment that the new GSL is strict, but 3PP friendly. Over at Paizo Erik has said.....when discussed the new GSL is coming...it would have been great a year ago. IF Wotc had made the GSL 3pp friendly, but restricted, they wouldnt have been facing this "problem" in the first place. This is all a problem of their own making. It gave the grognads a place to go to. Wotc has no one to blame but themselves. [/QUOTE]
