> Out of everyone on this list, please respond to the following questions:
>
> 1) If you wrote a module, would you place it on the open license
agreement?
If it's appropriate, yes. Right now I'm planning two works, Adding
Superheroes to your d20(r) campaign(c) and Adding Lycanthropes to your
d20(r) campaign(c) I have some neat feats (no punning intended) and skills
made up specifically for them But I want to see the actual SRD before I get
in too deep.
> 2) How do you think such an agreement affects a new writer breaking into
the
> field?
well, it's how I plan on getting started. After I write some stuff I'd
eventually like to work in house at WotC, if possible and I'm hoping my
indies stuff will show my skill.
> 3) Do you think experienced writers will use the open license agreement?
I think they'll (eventually) join. At the very beginning we'll see a flood
of people with d20 stuff trying to get started, then some will back off and
the pros will join in with the really determined indies.
> 4) What do you predict will happen to professional writers who choose not
to
> use the OGL?
If they got a system good enough, like White Wolf, they'll prosper otherwise
they'll die. But I think with d20 and OGL the quality will be improved on
most products and I think(hope) more will have a chance to thrive.
> 5) Who benefits the most from the OGL, and why?
>From OGL, everyone, more &better material will be out and info sharing is a
good thing.
>From d20, Wizards. They'll get a lot more people interested because they'll
finally have western D&D like campaigns and samurai campaigns that the
system will generate interest in main D&D.
I'm probably being overly optimistic but I think what's happening is a good
thing. I hope everyone gets something out of it.
