[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7691030, member: 22779"] This is fantastic news. I know I've been something of an OGL critic in the past, but, I'm very, very happy to see this. For one, they are retaining a fair degree of control over things, unlike the 3e OGL release, where it boomed and busted very quickly. This time around, there will be no Book of Erotic Fantasy crap because they'll just quietly pull it and it'll never be an issue. Plus, since they're overseeing print on demand as well, that means, hopefully, at least a quick once over of anything going to print, so we won't see cut and paste errors like orcs becoming ores. Additionally, because they can control the license of what settings are getting supported, hopefully, they can coincide that with the AP releases. So, if the next (or the one after that, whatever) is Ravenloft, then we can get a slew of OGL Ravenloft goodies. At a guess, I'd say they'd build in a bit of a time delay as well. The Ravenloft (to use that example) AP comes out after much fanfare for a month or two beforehand, sells for, say, a month, and then the Ravenloft SRD hits the shelves. Prime the pump, so to speak. But, still, fantastic news. Quoting this from a few pages back, where it got lost in the scrum. This is a point I hadn't thought of, but, really, it's brilliant. What a fantastic way to crowdsource translations and then make them easily available all over the world. I can't see that as anything other than win-win for WotC. [/QUOTE]
