What does Hasbro think of the d20 System/Open Game concept?
The basic ideas were presented to the CEO of Hasbro in 1999 as a part of a wide-ranging overview of the company’s Research & Development efforts. In the great scheme of things, Hasbro as a corporation doesn’t care one way or the other about Open Games and the d20 System. In fact, the RPG business itself is just barely large enough to be broken out as a separate line item in the financial accounting that Wizards of the Coast provides to Hasbro. In short, Hasbro’s management and oversight will be a non-factor in the success or lack thereof of the OGL/d20 experiment.
