Como noticiado na EnWorld:

5th Edition to be OGL? Possibly! Or at least something similar. In this thread, discussion about how Dias Ex Machina was able to include a D&D Next option in its latest Kickstarter for its Amethyst setting, given that no license to do so has been announced and no final ruleset is available.

Chris from DEM posted the following publicly: "I've mentioned it on the Kickstarter that we have it on authority that there will be at least an SRD and probably an OGL for D&D Next (5E). You would have to have a major regime change at WOTC to cast doubt on that. WOTC is committed in rebuilding their 3PP base after 4E. DEM was the first to sign (so goes the rumor) to the GSL, and we’re even more confident now."

Now, obviously the immediate thing that springs to mind when you read that is "Cite?", as it would be a HUGE scoop if it were true. So I did ask him about his source, and, while I promised not to share that source or the email he showed me, it looks legit to me. That said, he goes on to mention the conversation referenced was quite old now, and that things can always change. Still, the official position of WotC is pretty much "Nothing to announce yet; we'll let you know if there is." It is worth noting that Mike Mearls used the OGL a LOT when he was working for third-party publishers on d20 products (such as Monte Cook's Malhavoc Press) before WotC hired him, so it's reasonable to assume he's predisposed towards liking it.

Se essa suposição se confirmar, será uma das poucas coisas positivas só DDN até agora, imho.

E pode ser o alento pra'queles que esperam os módulos de jogo do Next.

Então os módulos vão ser o sem-fim de suplementos third-party? 3.X redux feeling.

Eu não vejo problemas em muitos suplementos sendo lançados. desde que você não precise deles para consertar defeitos do sistema

Sendo que eles também criam problemas.

Se forem bem feitos não

Isso se eles conseguirem cumprir metade do que estão prometendo
