So I suppose you've heard the news. I guess that'll keep crap like Airships from being made. Nevertheless, some of those books have good ideas presented that are just not implemented well. So this is the wind from the publishers. Most are going to sit down with the OGL and see if it restricts them creatively or not, then decide whether it's worth forking over the five-grand. Mongoose outlines things nicely. Many of the publishers that started with d20 have (to paraphrase Jolly Blackburn) weaned themselves from the d20 teat. They have their own systems now and don't depend on what direction WotC goes. Hackmaster 5E is absorbing Kalamar as its default campaign setting, for example. I doubt there'll be a flood of early supplements as there was with 3E, and the 5K admission fee and new standards will certainly thin the herd of weak product and small-time contributers. What concerns me is that all 3rd party stuff for D&D must be based on the Players Handbook. To what extent I wonder. Also, the SRD will not be in a usable form as it was implemented by www.d20srd.org, but way more general, lacking context. No more 3-ring binders with the rules printed out. Buying the book is the only option. Hmmm... pass.

Habby Gnu-Ear! *hic* Well, I've unearthed a FAQ page I never linked to, so do feel free to add your Q's so I may A them. I also at long last added the half-elf, half-orcs to the Races page. I call them Korala-Hai. It's basically a half-elf with orcish/wild-elven strength and intelligence, darkvision, and the elven diplomacy smoothed out the orcish lack thereof (no bonus to Diplomacy or GI but no Charisma penalty. Oh, and favored class barbarian. Grok could've used that hardiness vs. enchantments, but aren't you supposed to want better for your kids? Any thoughts on their lifestyle'd be good to bring to the table (comments).
