So, since the "great alignment change" we have heard SQUAT about the new GSL revisions right?
Is it still in the works or has it been quietly shelved?

It took some weeks last time and will this time, too. Legal stuff is slothfully slow.

Good thing there's no level loss for alignment shift any more, or we'd be here forever.

Unless we hear otherwise, assume it's been quietly shelved. If it weren't we should have heard something by now.

Edit PS: Legal changes to existing Docs can be done within 24 hours....certainly done by now after Gen Con.

I don't think WotC don't pay their lawyers enough to rush-approve things.

That's true but it also misses the point. The GSL so-called revisions were announced about a week before Gen-Con and it was announced because supposedly the actual revisions weren't going to be done quite in time for Gen-Con. The implication (by Scott Rouse) was that the changes were minor and nearly done.
It's now been nearly a month, and even by corporate legal dept standards, it doesn't take that much time to post minor revisions to a preexisting legal doc.
No, what this smells like to me is a deliberate attempt to change the buzz before Gen-Con away from how awful the GSL is to speculation about what it might be....and most of you fell for it. I don't believe for a moment that Wotc is seriously considering changing the GSL at this time.

Remember- silence proves diabolical intent. The simplest solution is that corporations are evil pirates. In the absence of evidence, WotC is planning to eat babies, etc. Spoiler:

Ah, I was wondering when you'd show up with more hyperbolae. Scott Rouse flat out admitted that the timing of the revision was dictated by Gen Con.
If I am so wrong about Wotc, then why the silence?
Hint: Take off the rose-tinted glasses and view Wotc for what it is: A wholely owned subsidiary of a publically owned corporation. That doesn't make them 'evil', but it does mean that they don't have our (gamers) interests at heart. They (wotc) aren't one of us and haven't been for years.

WHich all ties in nicely with firing lurkinglidda- who was probably the gas that was driving the revisions. If there aren't going to be revisions they really don't need a 3rd party publisher liason do they?
Well, here come a return to the 80's glut of different rpg systems- and very little usable product for any of them...
