The thing is, at this point we have some more information, but we don't know about the incentives WotC is going to put in play to get designers both big and small to adopt to the new license.The thing I find really interesting in sort of a "following the vibes of the community" way is how negative it's being received as. Enworld is older gamers, but it also one of the most consistently positive places to be for D&D content and WotC. I have seen a lot of people who I typically see being super positive about WotC's moves be neutral at best. I haven't really seen anyone talk about how this is a really good thing: it's been neutral and "we have to wait and see" at best. Frankly, I don't think this is being handled in the best way, and it seems to be coming from people who aren't in tune with the community. I also wonder if the people behind the decision are really 100% up to speed on the OGL: do they understand that if 1D&D is entirely backwards compatible with 5E, there is no need for anyone to actually even use the new license? I would think they'd have to be, but ... I'm certainly not seeing a reason now.I have a ton of speculation but at this point, it's all just speculation, right? I wonder if anyone at WotC is looking at the speculation right now because the press release really doesn't seem to make things more positive for them.</blockquote>
