Looks like interesting development from Necro on not being able to sign the GSL "as is" unless WotC clarifies and gives certain leeway on what the license entails.
I'm glad to see Clark Peterson address specifically the concerns with not allowing a single product like Tegel Manor to upend JG, and conversely James's Wilderlands as well.
Looks like Necromancer games will remain a bit in the air, as he seems to be reticent to publish any other system - man, he must have high production costs given what he says about the Pathfinder/3.x market being unviable for profit. It's weird he says "we have to spend more to improve our production quality," given where they already are.
Then again, there is, sadly, some logic to that -- the only primary roadblock I run into with C&C is the irrational reaction by young gamers on production - "the interior's all Black & White? No way man - you gotta have color-coded, with anime art and stat blocks that take up half a page. I need the dungeon layouts to be specific, grided in clear large squares, with full painted detail."
Example - standing in a bookstore perusing Gaming stuff. Two kids were picking up the 4e books. One asked "aw man, you think it's really gonna be better than 3.5?" They other flips through the PHB "hell yeah... just look at it!"
Ah well. I will buy James's Wilderlands stuff before any others anyway.
