Um, last I checked, WotC don't have an OGL logo on their books that have OGC. They simply attached OGL on the inside of their products. Also, OGL doesn't necessarily means they're using the SRD. Unless you want to single out other rules systems that have been attached to the OGL (e.g., Action! System). Granted, that system have yet to make a major mark with the buying public, but it shouldn't be dismissed. Personally, OGL doesn't mean much to the buying public, only those that are well-educated about it. What the buying public care for is a good packaging of rules for a game. What the OGL does is allow publishers to Use published OGC in their products and let other designers/publishers to Use any new original/derivative OGC Contributed by that products' authors/publishers. _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
