[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8904019, member: 4348"] I said this in another thread, but I wanted to emphasis this. The world is not ending yet. The OGL is not set in stone at this time. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE in what it says. It could be everything is up in the air. They are going to have a survey. Items which you feel are important, highlight on the survey. I think they are trying to allow those who have previously published systems (I think, so this is just an opinion here) to still be able to publish things for those systems such as adventures and things like that), so the actual system remains publishable. However, new items such as what may go onto VTTs and other areas, or people trying to make new games or stuff using the new SRD that will come out eventually, and other things like that (with the obvious exceptions that they listed) will not be able to be published. They want to be able to control material in that way. It's a fine line to walk where they want to allow freedom to use it in a more traditional manner, but also have control over the new D&D material going forward. They don't want someone using the old OGL in order to access the new material, but still allow that material to be used. HOWEVER, if you don't like the wording, TELL THEM in the survey. If everyone tells them they need to reword it, or even more strongly tells them that they dislike it...we can then see how they respond. The only way to see is to actually take the survey and tell them though. As they say, if you want to have a voice heard, if you want your choice to make a difference, vote. If you want to make changes, take the survey and tell them. You may feel that you are just one, but if everyone says the same thing, if everyone is on the same page on what they want changed, it sends a strong vote on that matter. So, take the survey. Make your voice heard on the matter. ([USER=20741]@Steel_Wind[/USER] said it best in another thread (and him reposting it here would probably also be good). Their goal is not to stop 3e and 3.5 stuff that were published, but to prevent a system based on 1D&D and to protect DnDBeyond (at least in My opinion). You don't like what is in the OGL then take the SURVEY! Read the OGL when they have it up to read, and make sure to make your voices heard. If everyone says something that says the same thing, and THEN it is ignored or looks like it will be ignored, then I'd say make accusations. Until then, see what is in it and see if you can make a difference. Organize and talk about that, because if something in it is important, than that's what should be focused on in the survey responses. As I said above, when it comes out, take the survey. [/QUOTE]
