[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 8884347, member: 20741"] It is not the fact of this statement that struck me as odd -- it was the [B][I]indignation[/I][/B] behind it. Stepping back, how is this an unjust result? Somebody else could do any of this under the 1.0a OGL anyways (other than protected content). Why is it unjust or seen as wrong for WotC to do this? I could see how WotC might want to allow for this on any VTT it might implement. Why is that result something gamers in the hobby would not want? While I remain open to being persuaded that this is an unjust or unwise result, I'm not there yet. Let me be VERY CLEAR about that: I am not at all initially persuaded that this outcome is not in the average gamers' interest. And given that we are talking about an OGL, that is not a small point.
