Message: <blockquote data-quote="I'm A Banana" data-source="post: 6065719" data-attributes="member: 2067">One thing that strikes me is that part of what will make or break 5e for me is how easily it supports 3rd party stuff. It's one of [notranslate]Pathfinder[/notranslate]'s big strengths in my book and one of 4e's big weaknesses. If it's OGL, there's going to be a pretty decent environment of custom content and alt rules that will help to ensure that, whatever the Core Rules' failings, I'll be able to find and play a version of 5e that I like. If it's as restrictive as the GSL, then I'll have to rely on WotC for all of my D&D needs, and that ain't gonna fly, because we frequently have different ideas about what we want from our games, and while there's no "fun police," there's also little incentive to struggle with something that doesn't work quite well for me when there's stuff out there that can. Sort of: part of what the OGL means is that it's possible for me to replicate the qualities of 4e that I want within 3e without having to replicate the qualities of 4e that I don't want. If 5e makes something like that possible, it'll have a fightin' chance. If it doesn't, well, I might still play it, but it won't be without fighting against it. Still, as can be evidenced from how I interact with 4e, I do like messing with systems that don't want me messing with them. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
