And funny that you just happen to mention Morrus => EN Publishing. A5E existed well before the OGL shenanigans began. Their latest (D&D) 5e product is from the first of July this year (what I could find via DTRPG)... I'm also pretty sure that D&D is still the main topic of this site...Let's be honest, also Morrus/EN Publishing took advantage of that news cylce with their own A5E announcements... But he certainly didn't go overboard. I'm looking at Paizo, Kobold Press, and a bunch of others for that... Whatever happened with that ORC license, how many of those signees actually stared publishing all their products under that umbrella?There was a LOT of hot air blowing, many in the silent hope that 'their' alternative would revolutionize the industry, become the next D&D (or at least the next Pathfinder). But when the smoke settled, everyone went back to business as usual (some even published some of these 'revolutionary' products)...Sorry to say it, when you don't run your business as a business, it's a hobby project. And more and more companies (people) are treating this as a business. While a LOT of us still view it as a hobby project that grew out of it's seams...That's why I said, 'might'. And they are paying for it, one way or another. That '30%' is also an assumption, that might be lower, it might be higher And while the DDB staff might handle the conversion, they might require them to do that via the contract. Is there any evidence that the DDB staff does the conversion for 'free'?</blockquote>
