[QUOTE="amethal, post: 4427859, member: 22784"] Interesting stuff, as usual. Do you think [I]Mutants and Masterminds[/I] would not exist without the OGL? The non-GSL products that are being produced for 4th edition have been a real eye-opener for me. Could Green Ronin have published 1st edition M&M pretty much in the same form it is now (maybe renaming some of the terms, if they wanted to be cautious) without using the OGL? Would it have been as successful? I bought it because it seemed to me it was the best d20 supers system available. However, it was the OGL which had got me thinking that way. If there's no OGL, then I think I'd have bought it simply because it looked like the best supers system available. Maybe I'd have bought Champions instead. But I wouldn't have bought a PH or a MM2 (I already had them), and I wouldn't have bought another WotC book because :- a) If I'd liked the look of it then I'd have bought it anyway b) It wouldn't have helped me run the supers game I wanted to play [/QUOTE]
