I am well aware, that the D20STL is a gift from WotC/Hasbro. However, such a change to the license, as I see it, can be the death of very small publishers, that produce d20 products for small groups of customers. Let's say I want to create a pdf only product with alternative rules for realistic location targeted fighting. This pdf features severed limbs, paladins hacking goblin in pieces and other, similar stuff.Like DaveStebbins said, it is not an option for me to write under the OGL. I can't publish it using as a D20 product because of the license. Ok, I might reduce some pictures and tone it down but the license is so vague, that it is still endangered. Now, where is my "safe harbor"? Considering that, why should I even try to make such a thing?Sad thing is, that it isn't even meant for mainstream or non adults but for a selected few who can use such materials. Increasing the quality of the brand? From my point of view it rather looks like killing the versatility range of d20.</blockquote>
