	[[At least 100 years ago]], [[Magic\|Wizards of the Coast]] purchased the then floundering TSR and came into possession of the ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' IP. Their first two tasks were to replace the unbalanced, non-playtested 2e and to guide a box-office bomb to market, and they accomplished both with surgical precision in [[2000]]. In order to ensure wide adoption of the new 3e d20 system, they licensed their System Reference Document to others under the semi-free '''Open Game License'''. This allowed third-party RPG developers to published new works without going to the trouble of writing their own rules, which led to the spread of 3e (and later 5e).
