[QUOTE="shadzar, post: 5461037, member: 6667746"] 1- Erik is another gamer like the rest of us. Our own game is what every gamer has at least once thought about having and holding the reigns to. 2- I think that GSL had to be PERFECT for that to happen though. "Either 3rd OR 4th", was never going to be allowed by 3PPs. Clark tried to get that passed through Linea and Scott on to WotC and/or HASBRO at the forefront of all other 3PPs as to be something that had to be addressed AND removed. The GSL revoking rights to use the OGL just wasn't going to work. Then I don't think Paizo would have been solely 4th edition. Paizo doesn't try to play "one true edition", and think they were the ones publishing my last in print Dragon 3 issues into introducing 3rd edition....not sure. But even if starting heavy with 4th when 4th first came out, I can see Paizo would not have left the OGL arena if the OGL and GSL were compliant. There is just too much opportunity to capitalize on...monetarily and creatively speaking. 3- I forgot...so NOOOO to space opera RPGS! Just play RIFTS or Spelljammer, cause there has been way to many other bad ones to come and go. Well....with two more installments coming out, it might be a good time for someone to pitch an RPG to James Cameron set on Pandora. I know minis from that game and race would likely sell quicker than a Maralith in a wet t-shirt contest. Glad my browser can't even access it due to some "Whoops" error that still exists and was never fixed then when it was moved...not that the forums software itself is very welcoming. [/QUOTE]
