Going Nuclear:1D&D

[Zardnaar]

Gonna phrase this as politely as I can. Specifically I'm advocating burning 1D&D down to the ground and all the D&D branding. This includes online play, the movie, video games, new edition everything. If you play MtG you can make your own decisions.

Essentially boycott everything WotC/D&D related. If you're feeling motivated throw in Hasbro and MtG related.

And do it across all forms of social media, reddit, YouTube etc.

For me last time around it was Paizo this time around it's Kobold Press and everyone else.

Just remember monetization means nothing good.

Crush the 1.1, see them crumble before you, and to hear the lamentations of their CEO.

Maybe you can summarize the several threads going on about all the problems wit the new OLG and whatnot. I seemed to have lost interest trying to keep up with the whole "He said, she said."

And for those of us who don't give two figs about the OGL? Which you might find to be a surprising amount?

Why don't you support it?

Opt in feel free to do whatever you like. You do you.

You are supporting what turns out to be a Bond villain level evil corporation, but you are free to continue doing so

Nothing against you, but this seems appropriate at this point. I have a healthy distrust of big government and large corporations, but you need to give more than this.

Well there's a lot going on. Basically they seemingly want to nuke the OGL and force the larger OGL companies into paying royalties.

Said royalties are high enough to potentially kill off Kickstarter.

"They" haven't "said" anything. Yet. Still, the leaks of internal documents from within WotC (at least one of their employees was not happy with what he/she/they were reading and leaked it to the media) suggests there is some unpleasant maneuvering ahead with the OGL 1.1.

Draft document(s) created by lawyers for discussion with management is not the same thing as announcing a decided course of action. We will see what WotC will announce, if anything, concerning the OGL soon enough.
