We got an official leak of One D&D OGL 1.1! Watch Our Discussion And Reactions!

Nice thing about this January release is it leaves plenty of time for a big loud boycott of the movie.

why would we boycott a movie about book publishing? more to the fact how would anyone SHOW that said boycott was infact people not going cause of the SRD/OGL and not cause it just didn't appeal to them?

Yes it is

One independent person reporting the leak is the most credible. Perhaps more than one if there is a tie.

I think you're thinking of EN Publishing's EN Armoury: Chainmail Bikini (affiliate link).

Nope. Never seen that before.

WotC may do a lot of stupid things that I don't agree with but I can't see them pissing into Critical Roles cheerios. They have them to thank for a lot of the high sales numbers. Losing Critical Role to a different game would be taking away money from their own pockets.

They probably already have a custom agreement in place.

This is demonstrable false. We have a 347 page thread on this forum that details how aggressively WotC has gone after "blatantly racist" stuff. Including significant legal action that actually states one reason they are looking to shut down this "publisher" is because of the blatantly racist content.

I've never seen that thread, can you link it or at least name it so I can search it?

why not? the only thing that matters to WotC is clearly money, so I vote with my wallet

I do not care if it flops because it is a bad movie or because of this. I am not seeing it because of this and hope it flops for any reason

I doubt they lose CR. Too many eyes on both.

I'd laugh for a solid afternoon if they went to PF1 though.

About the movie. I was planning to take the whole family. Even arrange a bday watch with family and friends. I’m kinda soured on the idea. I would have thought WotC would want enthusiasts fans and hobbyists to be the ice breakers for this movie. I guess not.

Why/Why not? Because it's all part of the vaunted "undermonetized D&D lifestyle" that Hasbro is pushing.

I said it needed to be a "loud" boycott: prompted by streamers and bloggers, picked up by gizmodo or something, repeated all over social media, etc. Obviously, simply not showing wouldn't do anything unless it's been telegraphed why they're not showing. The aim would be the threaten the box-office take on a potentially good D&D movie, specifically by people who love D&D. Presumably it would depend on the relative amounts of money at stake and whatever publicity came of it.

It might mean something. Or it might not.
But there's one way to find out.

Usually if you want to boycott something, being vocal about why you're boycotting it is part of the process. And yes, if a company is doing something you disagree with, boycotting other things they do as a form of protest is perfectly valid.

Pretty sure they're referring to the nuTSR thread? Just a guess on my end though.
