That said, I'm all for sharing, but only to a certain point.Do I want other publishers to use the game mechanics I will be developing in the future? Sure! Of course!  As I understand it, that IS what OGC is for!Would I like it if I created an entire campaign setting, printed it, got it marketed and distributed to retailers across the country only to have another game publisher use the characters and nations etc. that I have worked hard on developing and have plans to continue to develop in the future?I'm not sure I'd like that. I'm not sure any sane writer would like that.BUT, I don't really see how a license is going to keep me from being creative. The d20STL and the OGL don't limit my creativity. Indeed, they have a "Red Bull" effect on my ability to create material, material which has a good chance of being used because it is compatable with Dungeons and Dragons, Sword and Sorcery, AU, and a hundred other games out there.A license doesn't kill your creativity. YOU kill your creativity.</blockquote>
