back in HS we used M&Ms and Recites Pieces for monsters, and who ever got the kill got to eat them...The edible* ones are always the monsters.
EDIT for clarity: but not like actual edibles.

Was hoping this was LegalEagle. Guessing the latter is more reputable...
The stuff on copyright versus trademark isinteresting, but it is clear that he doesn't really understand the culture of 3PP products and how they interact with D&D. Sure, technically, maybe you don't need the OGL. But for the things that people made with it, having it made is SAFE, which was its real value.
Interesting take he has.
I get what you are saying about the culture but, in the end, all that matters is how the courts decide to interpret this and who can afford the legal battles, if any are fought.The stuff on copyright versus trademark isinteresting, but it is clear that he doesn't really understand the culture of 3PP products and how they interact with D&D.

He makes that clear though and points out the better person for the job.The stuff on copyright versus trademark isinteresting, but it is clear that he doesn't really understand the culture of 3PP products and how they interact with D&D.

So why is dynamic lighting a thing to spend time futzing with? Why does it matter if the door opens with a click or if you have to fiddle with layers, etc?
I played for a long time with Roll20, free version, as I preferred to reveal whole blocks instead of seeing those aesthetically unpleasing blobs of light and shadow. (And that tier didn't even get you scripting access)Obscure the whole thing and only reveal what the PCs see by room. Drawing is easy enough on Roll20 but it's time consuming.

Well, he is a Lawyer, with a channel focused in the legal aspect of issues. The psicological effects of the OGL are not really on the scope of his brand. Legally speaking, for most of the content creators the OGL was and is useless, even if it does make them feel safe.The stuff on copyright versus trademark isinteresting, but it is clear that he doesn't really understand the culture of 3PP products and how they interact with D&D.

Right? Like, if I just had a nice virtual whiteboard (with a grid, like the dry-erase grid I use IRL) I could quickly draw on and easily erase on, and where there were tokens that could be moved around (doesn't even matter by who - I'd be fine with anyone being able to move anything, especially if the DM had an "undo" button), I feel like I'd be vastly better off than with any VTT I've ever used.I really, really just want a VTT white board so I can run the game just like I do at the table with tactiles. If they can give me tokens that look like dice and M&Ms, even better.
