[QUOTE="Harlock, post: 1113283, member: 4545"] Shawn, that's a tad overboard, don'tcha think? Three letters solve this problem for you. O, G and L. WotC isn't deciding anything for me. All this changes is the d20STL. The Steven King anology isn't even fair. If King's [i]publisher[/i] decided it wanted to completely change to children's books, then [i]that[/i] is closer but still leaves King the option of changing to a new Publishing House. It doesn't prevent him from writing, nor does a change in the d20STL change your ability to write, produce and publish D&D compatible material under the OGL. Still, it sucks that the wording is so vague but after all, "If you notice, the system guide is very vague, basically giving WoTC complete control over content and artwork of EVERY company still willing to use the D20 license," is accurate to an extent. D&D still belongs to WotC. The d20STL is still their license. Thank God for the OGL. Meh, Scarred Lands d20 or Scarred Lands OGL, either way it's still the main setting I'll play. Say, didn't that Monte fellow publish Arcana Unearthed as OGL with the follow-up releases all slated as d20? May be a new business model... [/QUOTE]
