[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8886833, member: 6801845"] While I empathize with people who feel threatened, I simply don't really use much 3PP stuff other than the occasional PDF from DmsGuild which is under a different contract so will be unaffected. So it really doesn't matter to me. For that matter, most people I've gamed with over the course of multiple editions don't really use 3PP stuff. I'd likely enjoy other games and genres, but my wife has no interest in learning new games or systems. In addition the game system enables play, it doesn't define my enjoyment of playing an RPG. If the OGL had never been created there are a couple of books gathering dust on my bookshelf, but otherwise it wouldn't impact me in the least. I think most people who play D&D are in the same boat, I don't think the people on this forum are representative. I'm not saying the OGL 1.0 was good or bad, I think there likely could have been more innovation in games if it had not been created. I also think PF, by way of challenging D&D's dominance was actually good for D&D - at least it was for me. But most people? I suspect most people won't know or care if there is never another 3PP addition to D&D ever again. So it's not that I don't care, but if I were blissfully unaware of the issues it would have never impacted my gaming one way or another. [/QUOTE]
