[QUOTE="ruemere, post: 5217813, member: 5515"] THE GOOD 1. This is still your game. You can do stuff with it without worrying of being sued. You can use OGL to freely contribute. And you know, that if someone gets a great idea, they can sell it. Recent OGL non-Paizo additions of great value to my library: Slumbering Tsar, SORD PF, Sunken Empires. I know that some folks blame OGL for allowing products of bad quality... well, it's like with a free choice - you can do both good and bad things, but hey, you're free to choose. And preserving ability of creative folks to do great things for your game is always a great asset. 2. Paizo folks. Open, helpful, friendly. 3. Game material - prints with free PDFs. Let me repeat that: if you subscribe to get a book, you get searchable, bookmarked PDF for free. Oh, and there are tons of [URL="http://paizo.com/store/downloads/free&source=search"]FREE downloads[/URL]. 4. This is still D20. THE BAD There are sacred cows which still persevere in order to maintain compatibility (on the plus side, running games using 3.x materials is easy). THE UGLY Some people still produce bad stuff. And label it PFRPG compatible. Fortunately, browsing previews and reading opinions is usually sufficient to avoid bad stuff. Also, on a positive side, everyone has to start somehow - and learn. I'm sure that Monte Cook's first book was not on par with the quality he produces today. Regards, Ruemere [/QUOTE]
