[QUOTE="Harlock, post: 1114746, member: 4545"] It's an attack on creativity? The publisher chooses to go OGL or d20. Look at that statement again. Now, how is that attacking? If the bottom line is so important to him then by all means, sell out. What I have found is that depsite claims to the contrary, many OGL books do just fine on their own and word spreads more every day. My point is twofold really: You can write whatever the hell you want that is compatible with D&D under the OGL and WotC can do whatever it wants with the d20 Logo. Preiod. End of story. Griping isn't solving anything. Was WoTC heavy-handed? You betcha, I've said that many times before on this matter. You argument is a straw man. Nothing is preventing anyone from creativity in writing D&D compaitble material. Compared to 4 years ago when NO ONE could write D&D material except a select few, things are infinitely better. I really believe an OGL product can outsell a D20 product, or even a comparable "official"WotC D&D branded product if it is a superior product. [/QUOTE]
