Looks like Wizards released some information about the OGL plans yesterday. enworld has the details I figured you guys would be intested. |

Indeed...and thank you. Reading now... Ok, I can readily confirm that WorldWorks will NOT be shelling out $5,000.00 to get on the "fast train" for releasing 4E product materials...so I think we can say with confidence that there won't be a 4E patch, or any new 4E products until the free-to-release date of 1/1/2009 (not that we'll necessarily be up to speed any faster anyways). Hopefully, we won't lag all that far behind, though. |

$5000?! I read that and...damn. From a business standpoint, I can understand WHY they are doing it, but UGH. Talk about stifling the small publisher! I guess 4E wont be taking over for 3E for at least a year then, will it? |

For those of you interested..... Looks like Wizards changed their plans about 4th edition. I think they dropped the $5000 early fee. But it's hard to tell just from press release. Still this looks like there might be the possibility of a 4th edition WWG module this year. |

Yep - the fee has been tossed in the circular file. I am still more interested in Paizo's Pathfinder RPG than in 4th ed. But it removes some of the annoyance that will likely lead to me not purchasing 4e. It was a dumb, dumb idea. The Auld Grump |

Bob, The first post on on enworld will be of concern for you. Basically it sounds like under the new licence if someone releases a new 4th edition Version of a product, they have to stop selling all existing 3.x products released under the OGL within 6 months. You can convert the existing products to 4th edition products, but you can not continue to mix and match 3.x and 4th edition products. |

How do they define 'product'? How different does something have to be before its a new product? Is this a job for Global Seach and Replace? This seems a job for corporate shuffling. Make World Works Games simply the 'seller' of these products, and create other legal entities which receive the profits from the sales. If corporate branding by WWG is a concern, you can still slap their logo all over it, simply calling WWG the retailer, and not the publisher. Me thinks that if you go this route, you'll need to pass some sort of legal litmus test showing how arms length the other corporate entities are. Otherwise, in the eyes of the courts you'll be 'merged'. Probably, the big thing here, is for WWG to look over the demographics for who they are selling to. If its a younger crowd then going to 4e would be an obvious choice since that is the direction WOTC is taking. |
