    D&D 5E WotC: Why Dark Sun Hasn't Been Revived

    Let me see if I understand, they fear angering does in the left due to slavery and those on the right due to climate change, but they couldn't care less aboutr people on the center who think slavery in preindustrial societies is par for the course and that climate change at this point is a...

    WotC Backs Down: Original OGL To Be Left Untouched; Whole 5E Rules Released as Creative Commons

    cohum Allow me to play devil's advocate. Now, if I was neutral evil and the responsible executive @hasbro, what would I do next? humm 1) Allow for some time to pass, they say "time heals all wounds", but they also say "out of sight, out of mind" 2) Lay of someone @wotc to be the fall guy/gal...

    WotC: We Are Not Making AI Dungeon Masters

    I could be wrong, but my bet is that they will not release it now in the hope people will completely forget about this (you can't stay angry all the time, it is too damn tiring) and in six months time (take or give a month) they will simply send the biggest or smallest TTRPG 3pp a C&D or better...

    WotC: We Are Not Making AI Dungeon Masters

    "No one at Wizards is working on AI DMs" said the pathological liars at best, at worst this statement was generated by a chatbot >_<

    D&D Beyond Cancellations Changed WotCs Plans

    As a side comment and personal observation, if instead of foing bland d&d movies they had done something with greyhawk, forgotten realms, the known world, etc. they could have. Someone would reply "oh, but you can't tell this with one or two movies and they lack the pockets to pump several...

    Gizmodo Reveals OGL v1.1's 'Term Sheet' Carrots For Selected Publishers

    I would disagree since "even evil has standards". Having any company nullify contracts on the fly whenever they feel like with more restrictive clauses would wreak havoc on the justice system since EVERYBODY would start doing it.

    Gizmodo Reveals OGL v1.1's 'Term Sheet' Carrots For Selected Publishers

    It is already there, if we allow them to deauthorize 1.0a, then they can do the same to 1.1, 2.0, 3.11, etc. and insert whatever they want ala "what is mine is mine and what is yours is now mine".

    Gizmodo Reveals OGL v1.1's 'Term Sheet' Carrots For Selected Publishers

    It is plain to see that any walkbacks do not represent a change of heart, but a change of strategy; instead of one big change to the OGL they now plan to do incremental changes once "fans have forgotten" and in the meanwhile they will tell all kinds of lies like the one trick pony they are. The...

    WotC Walks Back Some OGL Changes, But Not All

    As a side note, this thread has exploded, I lack the capacity to follow; does someone has trained an AI to give a daily summary of a thread?

    WotC Walks Back Some OGL Changes, But Not All

    It is so convenient that down the line they can say D&DB was not a legally authorized interlocutor and therefore anything they promise is NOT legally binding.

    WotC Walks Back Some OGL Changes, But Not All

    Please consider that the "objectionable content" clause can be used to block anything, anytime since they are the police, judge and executioner; they only have to play the "foul" card and off to the discard pile goes someone's hard work.

    WotC Walks Back Some OGL Changes, But Not All

    My bet is that they will do the classic "one step forward, two steps back" strategy.

    Rumours: WotC Announcement Today; Insider Email Reveals Plans

    My gut feeling tells me there was no plan B, they have taken for granted their customers for years (at least in D&D) and they felt they only needed to apply some pressure to 3pp for them sign in their contracts so they could start the year with a tabula rasa. Now, whoever is in charge in like...

    Rumours: WotC Announcement Today; Insider Email Reveals Plans

    The message is that there is no message. I mean, anyone wants to make into history books as the face that tried to cover the money grab attempted by their corporate overlords as something good? At this point in time any official video response will be uploaded to any social network you can...

    Rumours: WotC Announcement Today; Insider Email Reveals Plans

    Whether or not this leak is fake, it still speaks a simple truth; the best way to make wotc see the community is not pleased is by cancelling any paying subscriptions, money talks louder than social media posts.

    OGL: What Are The Publishers Saying [UPDATED]

    Remember hindsight is always 20/20, back then had that issue being talked in this forum, no doubt the same arguments about seeing WotC in court being a risky move would have been written. Remember that taking advice from FUD is the easiest way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
