[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 3027706, member: 23977"] Well yeah, and as I said I agree and understand... Which is why I'm not saying they "should" release it as a downloadable SRD. I'm simply waxing philosophical about what would happen to the game itself if they DID (say for some reason, the companies felt it would help their sales and market position.) since the original SRD and d20 idea had a definite effect... So again, I'm not campaigning that they do... I'm just a curious guy. :p Who's isn't? :p But in anycase, sure, maybe the ones who moved away are doing better. They "evolved" the game. They took the game, and tweaked it as they saw fit. Now what would happen (to the game itself) if they totaly opened them up and srd'd their works, and made it as easy to use the logo as WOTC originaly did. The to the game itself is the important part, because it's ignoring whether or not this would be a good move for the company itself. Would it continue along into many variants, or would it eventually morph back into one game (pretending that it always stayed fully open) especially since the market for RPGs in general isn't terribly large.
