If Smiteworks is even allowed to create a 4.0 ruleset for FG2. Wizards might just put in a clause that disallows that specifically.

I keep seeing the words "licensing fee for commercial products" pop up in various threads though at this point it's still a rumor.

There's a much larger and longer lasting social aspect to online gaming and it's accessibility. There's also no continuity issues in those games. You can log on every night for a couple hours and still have fun, whereas with D&D or other RPG campaigns, it's far more unlikely to find any group or game or online service like that, that really does what a good DM'd game is supposed to.
It becomes nothing more than a combat simulator with loot. An MMO.

That what I need to find out Nym. They can OGL it all they like, but the question comes down to what format can it be translated into. For those of you who may not know, the original draft of the d20 OGL did include miniatures. Then suddenly, the next version excluded them because WOTC had big plans for miniatures in their product models. They could easily exclude software in the next OGL, which is why I've said we'll have to wait and see.
If we're allowed to, Digital Adventures will translate v4 OGL to FGII.Last edited by Thore_Ironrock; August 22nd, 2007 at 15:54.
