[QUOTE="grimslade, post: 5932470, member: 6061"] [b]OGL is a non-issue to me[/b] I could care less. OGL, GSL, Gentleman's agreements mean nothing if I am not going to buy much anyways. If 5E is good, I will buy it. I will not be spending what I did on 3E, my life is different, economy is different. The 3PP stuff I bought was only ever used for fluff, ie Sword and Sorcery, or was moth balled once the WotC version came out. I liked having the SRD, but more in concept than practice. If 5E delivers on its promise of modularity and simple loose rules, I can use whatever I want with a little conversion on the fly. I have all sorts of back catalog and all the fine Pathfinder material as "3PP" for 5E. Paizo did not succeed just because of the OGL. It gave them a leg up, sure. Paizo succeed because they create a darn fine product and maintain good relationship with their customers. The consistent product excellence is why Paizo is eating WotC's lunch. The PR for 4E helped delineate things, but Paizo has not fumbled since even hobbled by 3.x foibles. Paizo is the reason for Paizo success. [/QUOTE]
