Much easier just to go make D&D stuff under the OGL for Pathfinder -- there's definitely an audience, you're definitely legal (the purpose of a "safe harbor" is to make it clear that it's cool, even if the law is ambiguous), you're definitely working with a company that WANTS you to do it...The only downside would be you're not plugging into the D&D audience, but in part because of PF's sales, the need to plug into that audience is less important than it was even back in 2008. It's not the only game in town, and even as the 900 lb gorilla, it's not as omnipresent as it once was. So while it sucks to cut that audience out, it might not be an audience worth going through a crappy license to get. But a good license solves most of those problems, and they're clearly thinking long and hard about it, I just worry that they'll continue with something more like the GSL than is pleasant. I mean, there's a *reason* they put out the GSL, and thought it was fine. And I don't know that they still don't think that.</blockquote>
