[QUOTE="delericho, post: 4341928, member: 22424"] As others have pointed out, this is simply wrong. There were discussions at the time about the possibility of whole new games being published under the OGL. That WotC have since changed their minds about what they want from third-party support doesn't retroactively change their intent at the time. Going forward, I expect to be playing: 4e (not particularly reluctantly, either - though I don't see it becoming our game of choice as 3e was for eight years) 3.5e Pathfinder (possibly superseding 3.5e when it is launched, or perhaps not) A homebrew melding of the three WFRP Star Wars d20 WoD in various incarnations Exalted Mutants & Masterminds and any other games that take my fancy. Remove the OGL, and you only lose two entries from that list (except I probably wouldn't bother homebrewing a system). I'm really glad of the existence of the OGL. A lot of material under it has matched the best of WotC output in quality, and some has exceeded it. However, if it hadn't existed, or were to now cease to exist, it wouldn't kill my gaming, though it would be a blow. [/QUOTE]
