Origins, short form, part 3

[drcpunk]

I woke up very achy, but motion, water, and ibuprofen helped. I got to North Market, where I solved the problem of choosing a bread by describing what I wanted it for and asking the sellers to recommend a bread for me.

I did more shopping, finding Qin at half price. I preordered Delta Green: Targets of Opportunity. As I told mnemex, I was naughty, but not frivolous.

I still don't understand why the d20 stuff has to be destroyed, but I did not attempt to save any of it today.

Lori Piper's 1 pm Unknown Armies game had a single opening, so I called ebartley, who was delighted to generic into it. It was a lot of fun.

The 8 pm Nobilis larp was a blast. mnemex and ebartley were in it, as were a lot of folks I met over the last few days. Within five minutes, there was impassioned debate. And, I got to play Saffron Crawford, aka Death.

We're packed. My backpack is heavier than I'd like, but I'll see if I can adjust it tomorrow.

That's not it, actually.

Or rather, yes, if you're planning on doing 4E stuff, you need to stop doing 3.5 OGL stuff, but that's not where the fire sale comes from; they can take their time dropping the OGL stuff.

However, the D20 license is another matter entirely. Unlike the OGL license, it's revocable -- and since they're switching away from an OGL license and trying to "encourage" people to switch over to the new game, Wizards is revoking it. Which means that after...I think it's December... publishers that still have D20 stock will have to pulp it, whether they chose to come out with 4E stuff or no.

Ah.

Mostly what it means is that Titan Games will have a metric buttload of surplus D20 stuff.

[mneme]

Pretty much, yeah.
