[QUOTE="The Sigil, post: 704125, member: 2013"] [b]Re: Re: Re: Missing creatures[/b] Perhaps not a wise choice, but on looking at my choice of words again, I think it came out wrong. There are some who might be satisfied to "stick it" to WotC - by creating OGC versions of these creatures, as has been previously pointed out. My satisfaction was not in "sticking it" to WotC but rather to point out that the creatures were there - thus "sticking them in" for those who have expended time and money creating products to support some of those creatures - keeps their efforts for being for naught. It's more of a, "for those who planned to send the 'Slayers Guide to Beholders' (or what have you) and have already paid for writing and art, don't worry too much about it." My satisfaction was not in "sticking it to WotC" but rather pointing out to publishers that they have a recourse - they might feel (rightly so, IMO) that WotC jerked the rug out from under them. I'm satisfied because I "caught them" before they could fall and sustain injury. Sorry if it came across as "take that, WotC" - though personally, I think allowing people to play with this sort of stuff and then "Taking it away" is the height of rudeness and doesn't go with the spirit of the OGL either. Just because WotC's letting folks play in their their back yard doesn't mean they have the right to suddenly decide to box your ears for playing with their basketball when they told you it was okay to play with the basketball in the first place. They could have at least said, "uh, guys, don't start a game of 'horse' with that because we're putting the basketball away soon" rather than, "I don't care if you're on the final shot of your game, I'm putting the ball away now." --The Sigil [/QUOTE]
