[QUOTE="mach1.9pants, post: 8907582, member: 55946"] Paizo [URL='https://paizo.com/community/blog/v5748dyo6si7y?The-ORC-Alliance-Grows']has revealed some of[/URL] the 1,500+ tabletop RPG publishers who have expressed an interest in their new Open RPG Creator's License (ORC), describing the group as the 'ORC Alliance'. The license itself is still being worked on, so these 1,500 publishers have not actually seen it or signed anything. But they have indicated to Paizo that they support a new, truly open, irrevocable industry license. [ATTACH type="full" alt="OpenRPG_1200x675.png"]273200[/ATTACH] [callout]Over the course of the last week, more than 1,500 tabletop RPG publishers, from household names going back to the dawn of the hobby to single proprietors just starting out with their first digital release, have joined together to pledge their support for the development of a universal system-neutral open license that provides a legal “safe harbor” for sharing rules mechanics and encourages innovation and collaboration in the tabletop gaming space. The alliance is gathered. Work has begun. It would take too long to list all the companies behind the ORC license effort, but we thought you might be interested to see a few of the organizations already pledged toward this common goal. We are honored to be allied with them, as well as with the equally important participating publishers too numerous to list here. Each is crucial to the effort’s success.
