hehe... I'm still really excited about publishing a D20 product under the
OGL, and we're presently reviewing 2 applicants to our printing support
effort as well.
I completely understand the protective strategy for D&D3, but I also sigh
and think... how open can this really be with big daddy Hasbro "streaming"
only what is cripplingly feasible for them?
I understand it... just don't... well... it's what I expected... that's all.
