You sure do.

I don't care. I'm still calling it D&D 2024. That seems so much more clear to me.

What about Tales of the Valiant? When one wants to write a product compatible with Level Up Advanced 5e along with the others, what should they call it?

Is that still true over the past year?

I think the vast majority of RPG creators fall into that category and, as always, thank you so much for your contributions to this whole hobby!!! That's a big one. The Sly Flourish business would normally be enough to cover living expenses with some savings but health care isn't great so...

This topic is fascinating and something I think about a lot. I appreciate the insight folks are offering here so I'll add some of my own. I think the article is only half the picture and misses the vast majority of published products produced by independent producers who make between $5 and...

I'm a firm believer in the generic tokens. I've been using them for years now, alongside my big collection of pre-painted miniatures, and I find the freedom, flexbility, cost, and size make generic tokens a huge value to my GM kit. https://slyflourish.com/crafting_lazy_monster_tokens.html

That's a totally fair take. I'd argue that if one doesn't trust the old OGL, I can't imagine being willing to trust a new one. If someone's already shown that they're willing to act in bad faith on an existing contract, I wouldn't be willing to accept a new contract from them.

You seriously would trust another OGL license published by WOTC? I'm not a fan of it, but I'd be more likely to support ORC which is made specifically to replace the OGL in the same way. But man, I much prefer CC and trust it a lot more.

So again, IANAL, but I think a lot of those games could switch from the 3.5 SRD to the 5.1 SRD if their material was different enough. I think 13th Age almost certainly is but they also have a lot of other material that was also under the OGL that they referenced and, because of the viral nature...

Not to defend them on this, but I think what she was saying is that that was under discussion, not a promise. 3.5 was promised by Kyle Brink to multiple video producers on YouTube during the apology tour.

I do! Why would I have posted to a forum if I didn't want to hear opinions?

Read the first line of my post again please. Let me save you the click "I'm working on a show topic for my Lazy RPG Talk Show tomorrow and thought I'd share the notes here to get people's thoughts." It turns out it was weak enough that the company who published the license thought they could...

My video on the topic posted to Youtube. Here it is: And the podcast if you prefer We All Won – Three Years since the OGL Crisis – Lazy RPG Talk show | The Lazy RPG Podcast - D&D and RPG News and GM Prep from Sly Flourish Starts at about 18 minutes.

I think the rise of bespoke licenses is a problem, yeah. I also think, though, that with the main D&D rules and terminology released under the CC, if we're building anything remotely like that, we can always go back to the source. As an example, Shadowdark has a limited license in that you...
