That's all we'd use, the things that we legally have access to. And the reason we have access to them is because 20 years ago WotC came to us and said "Hey look, D&D is in the doldrums, we're launching 3E, we want you to make stuff for our game instead of making your own games, so that eventually everybody plays D&D and not a thousand other games, and in exchange you can use this content" and we said "Yes, OK. You have a deal".They're reneging on the deal. There could be a bunch of competing systems, but we believed them when they said they couldn't rescind it. Now they're trying to rescind it. But make no mistake, those rights weren't a gift, they weren't generosity they were a mutually beneficial arrangement they persuaded us to rely on for 20 years instead of competing with them. Those are our rights.</blockquote>
