[QUOTE="tenkar, post: 3884739, member: 15047"] Hey, least I quoted my poor source.. a poor source that claimed to be quoting a trade magazine... :) In any case, you numbers show just how small our hobby is. Now, back to the topic at hand: What is the benefit to WotC to release their design documents to 3rd party publishers? (I know it would benefit 3rd party publishers greatly... I concede that easily) When the pie is a small one I'm sure you want to keep the majority to yourself without handing your competitors the tools to grab a larger slice. They already allow third parties use of the SRD via the OGL. How does giving away the secret formula benefit WotC? [/QUOTE]
