Creativity within D&D has taken a sharp nose dive within the last two years. It kind of feels as if D&D is just treading water at this point, that is fine I will take my tables to other systems. I doubt that this is Crawford's fault, I feel that this is more to do with corporate culture...

Unfortunately, I am in the same situation. I lived within walking distance of the Columbus Convention Center until recently. I will still do GenCon, but Origins is out for my family until they improve their culture. I let my dollars do my speaking for me the majority of the time. There are other...

When I spoke with her, she indicated that she already has a new position within the industry, so I would guess that you are incorrect in your assumption. A company within the industry gave her a paying gig and she has several consulting gigs within the industry. At least a few folks in gaming...

In this thread alone, many examples of GAMA having a toxic environment have been given. This is just the latest one. After doing some actual research and talking to Amy, I found out that her letter was actual published on LinkedIn. This is not uncommon. It blew up from there due to the fact...

I am not a lawyer, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I believe that their IP is covered under a different license. Guessing, but educated guessing. They are a corporation motivated by profit. They will give away the least amount that they have to try and save this situation.

1) Why do they need a morality clause if their IP isn't included in an OGL? 2) Do you really believe that they will hamstring themselves with this?

Yeah I umm ran a couple sessions of that when It first came out, at the request of mt group. It was umm, great! Yeah

Amazon and Disney would eat them as a snack, so I doubt it.

From their hiring practices it's fairly obvious what direction they are planning on going.

An OGL doesn't affect this and wouldn't going forward. I am not a lawyer, well perhaps a rules lawyer, but I am pretty sure you can't keep game companies or movie producers from using open content like myths and fairy tales for instance. You definitely can't keep folks from rolling a d20 for a...
