Connor has tweeted that tv adaptations are on pause due to the writers strike.

Ajit affirmed interest in Dark Sun. I really think the Radiant Citadel team could handle the lore side of things just fine; my actual concern remains the mechanics side, which is why I use Savage Worlds instead of 5e for my weekly Dark Sun game.

Savage Worlds handles all three of these really well, especially with the new Fantasy Companion. My two-years-and-running weekly Dark Sun game has thrived in that system. Meanwhile, my Friday Eberron 5e game works just fine; not every game in the setting needs crafting (The pulpy Indiana...

I fundamentally don't see the WotC of today as terribly interested in giving us expansive subsystems in setting books. Maybe they do an about face from Spelljammer, but they've had several opportunities to do subsystems and thus far refused. The latest release, despite being heist themed...

As someone who is currently procrastinating on prepping for my weekly Dark Sun game, I honestly think it's the other kind of inclusivity that is a barrier to 5e Dark Sun - mechanical inclusivity. Themes like climate change, slavery, and the general tyranny of the setting are tricky but workable...

Something I didn't see skimming the first half dozen pages - we know there's people within the orbit that are interested. Ajit George, the lead on Journeys through the Radiant Citadel (y'know, the book WotC put out to show they could be inclusive) has repeatedly stated he'd love to do Dark Sun

I think Matt Colville's recent semi-viral threads are pretty applicable here with regards to Eberron. Even if Keith, financially, needs to move on from Eberron - a move everyone here seems to be understanding of - the setting doesn't go away. Quite frankly, Exploring Eberron and Chronicles were...

In the Eberron server, there's two non-D&D systems that receive sustained interest - PF2 and Savage Worlds. PF2 because it's generally pretty popular as a D&D alternative, while Savage Worlds is the hobbyhorse of former Manifest Zone host Kristian Serrano, who successfully convinced a good chunk...

RIP. I wonder if they'll ever revise S&F to match up with K&W

Reading through - this version of the OGL still has the "you must include a full copy of the license in your work" type language... except this is a 15 page document instead of 1.

This is the bit that takes aim at 3e and earlier era OGL-content

Another person got a hold of the draft document and is doing their own review. Owen has a lot of experience making OGL products even if he's not an outright lawyer.

OGL 1.1 that doesn't "de-authorize" 1.0/a but still gatekeeps access to the 1D&D SRD with punitive terms could still be quite bad for the 5e-adjacent folks going forward.

Adam chiming in with some more opinions about the industry writ large. Up and downside of WotC creating a hub-and-spokes system is this hurts the ENTIRE system, they can be the villain without us needing to endorse everyone else who's been operating on the OGL.

The change.org petition that got passed around was started by some of the uglier parts of the community

New, better petition not started by gamergaters https://www.opendnd.games/

"OGL folks should just make a new game" seems like a very silly suggestion when there's already a wide range of D&D alternatives that would be way less work to switch to, in addition to the obvious issue that the reason there's a bunch of OGL companies is they each have their own taste. It would...
