[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8919246, member: 6704184"] I have been convinced since the OGL survey dropped, that what happened is that as soon as there was that internal struggle, someone specifically at wotc (I think Cersei is more likely someone at Hasbro, but who knows) who is there bc they love the game) proposed a modified OGL proposal that dropped all by the big red line, and gave a little bennie in the form of putting the core rules kernel into CC, and having a survey about it, asking for detailed feedback both quantitive and qualitive. Why? Because they knew that exactly this would happen, and they and others at wotc were opposed to the OGL 1.1 from the start, and probably knew that the entire industry would lose their minds over it. Basically the survey was a way for someone at wotc, your Tyrion, to lay out empirical data showing everyone that Cersei was completely wrong about the path forward, and do it in a way as to reduce any singling out of anyone else, and keep innocent heads from rolling.
