[QUOTE="IronWolf, post: 5932157, member: 21076"] I do have a make or break issue for my adoption of 5e. While I am a fan of the OGL, I am willing to admit there is likely a compromise. So rather than say 5e has to be released under the OGL, I will say what I need to facilitate my adoption of 5e. I need access to the rules on my terms. That can either be an open SRD like 3.x and Pathfinder have which allow the rules to be published on the web for easy reference from numerous locations and devices. Or it can be via PDF (or similar multi-platform, offline digital format). I am so used to being able to access 3.x or Pathfinder material via the web SRDs or PDFs in Pathfinder's case that I am not sure I could game effectively without those resources. As I look at other games I dabble in, they release in PDF as well. So again, even though they aren't using an open license, I can access the rules on a multitude of devices, while offline, without the need to maintain a monthly subscription. That is the make or break issue for 5e for me. [/QUOTE]
