Battlezoo Shares The OGL v1.1

Battlezoo, the YouTube channel which shared the initial leak of the new Open Game License, has shared the PDF of the OGL v1.1 draft which is currently circulating. This draft is, presumably, the same document obtained by Gizmodo last week. It's not currently known if this is the final version of the license.

Yeah at a time when they want to promote the heck out of the movie they are radio silent and every post they make about the movie on Facebook and Twitter is all negative comments.

I wonder what’s going to happen between them and Paramount, if Paramount thinks that WotC scuttled the movies’ box office for them.

So explain this to me in the only terms I can understand...
How many Death Save failures is Wizards at right now?

Honestly as much as it hurts to say it, right now none. Until WotC comes out and says yes, the OGL 1.1 everyone has been picking apart for the last X days is valid and we are standing behind it. Once that happens and 3PP stuff starts disappearing and sites get shut down, then we will see the real impact.

I bet. Right now I am sure they are looking to fire and pin this on a mid level leader.

Or the board demands Cynthia "D&D is under monetized" Williams step down

If this new OGL gets released, you know what would be really cool? All the current WotC creatives quitting en masse in protest.

(It won't happen, but it would be cool. )

They'll be looking to scapegoat whoever leaked the document I reckon.

After all, senior management never fails, they can only be failed by others.

People say that sometimes, but I don't know 4E well enough to know if it is an accurate assessment.

I know 4e very well and got PF2e when it first came out, but I've never actually played.

Interesting but I wonder if the lockdown is while they work on adjustments or while they just wait this out. Makes it sound like this is a surprise which I just cannot imagine it is to anyone who knows anything.

I’d definitely believe the WotC/Hazbro corporate folks are out of touch enough to have been surprised by the reaction.

They are really killing their movie. All the comments under their Facebook post with the movie trailer are anti-WoTC and pro open D&D. Gross incompetence to try this a couple months prior for the movie.

Unless their goal is to use the movie as a barometer for how serious people actually are about boycotting them.

4e was meant to fix the issues of 3.5e. It makes sense that PF2, which was meant to fix the issues of PF1, which in turn were largely the same ones as 3.5e, will in some cases fix them in similar ways – or at least provide solutions to the same problems, like PF2's focus spells serving the same role as 4e's encounter powers.

Yes, but it goes beyond that of course. IMO, I wish it was more like 4e in some ways. If I switch to PF2, which I might, I will work on homebrewing to make it more like 4e and our 5e homebrew. Might get my ideal game out of it!
