Andoran (RPG Superstar 2008 Top 32)

Now, this is a rumor and I am treating it as such. However, i can imagine that this may be true, so i am looking for confirmation....

The owner of a local gaming store insists that come January, 2009, the publishers of our hobby will have to make a choice. Either print 4e stuff or print 3.5 stuff. According to him, the OGL (or whatever the current acronym is) restricts the usage of 3.5 stuff when you are also doing 4e.

On one hand this sounds like a bunch of <ahem>. However, as much as I would like to just say that this isn't truth, there is a small niggling worm of doubt crawling here. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

I think there is some truth to this. But I can not remember the specifics so I will have to only partially confirm it. For example, Paizo is 3.5 OGL and Necromancer Games is 4.0. That is one of the strengths of their partnership.

According to Scott Rouse, publishers will be able to make both 3.5 OGL products and 4E products, but they can't make the same product line on both editions simultaneously.

But if you want, wait for the next week when the GSL is officially out.

Krauser has the right of it, as far as I'm aware.

Cheers! :)


Well it was how your game store owner said..then they back peddled and changed it as david mark said


The most recent Green Ronin podcast (available at their website) has the Green Ronin folks and Erik Mona talking pretty extensively about the OGL/GSL situation.

El Skootro, can you contact me off-boards at thelesuit (at) hotmail (dot) com.

I have a tibbet question for you.

Alternately if anyone has contact information for El Skootro can you pass to him my desire to chat with him.

Thanks.
