Maybe you have me looking too hard at this, but I can see some subtle things that might support your theory. In strip 1273, Julia looks worried and surprised when Roy says "you were there" when talking about his audition. A different look than if she just could not recall it. And in this strip...

Not sure if it was noted, but I believe all these names were in the original 5.1 SRD as well. I think they really just copied over the 5.1 SRD and swapped out the OGL page for the CC page. Edited to add: I just checked and they are both 403 pages long. Coincidence? I think not!

It may seem parasitic now, but if D&D hits some lean years when the Great Monopoly Fad of 2029 hits, it will be nice that Hasbro will have the money to keep the D&D lights on. With the SRD 5.1 release into CC, the dream of keeping D&D available beyond any company bankruptcy is stronger than...

Hmmm... the deep conspiracy-minded might think this was the real plan all along: get a massive rebound of good-will sales of Keys From the Golden Vault, as well as a bump right before the movie... :ROFLMAO:

At the time and for their cost, the effects were pretty spiffy. As rough as this news might be, they might have dodged a bullet not ending up on CW. :sneaky:

Agreed. It's not a loophole until someone successfully jumps through it. If a judge or jury says no, then what WotC thought was a loophole might be something more like this:

Today's xkcd strikes me as a loose parallel to the OGL, what with all the talk about it not being the most ironclad legal document. And the first panel sounds like all the work WotC is doing on OGL 2.0...

Hmmm.. they do like putting numbers in their name.... :unsure:

I would think so. If Project Black Flag (PBF) is compatible with 5e, and C7d20 is compatible with 5e, then it's A = B and B = C, therefore A = C. I think the bigger issue may be a product like, say, an adventure, that references a "sorcerer" or a "troll" by name but not detailed. Do they mean...

To clarify, when I talk about the system not working for 50%, I don't mean to imply that the system completely fails for them. I think for 50% (or maybe 60%, using the playtest's satisfaction threshold) of the groups out there, they use the 5e skill system out of the book and have no problem at...

I specifically do not say it's fine; I say that many DMs will need to tweak things for themselves, their campaigns, their players, and/or their playstyle. I think the current system might hit 50% of groups OK. With anyone's "improvements" (yours or mine), I think you would hit 50%, too -- just a...

If WotC released the actual OGL 1.0a license itself into CC, that might be good. :unsure:

So forget Michael Phelps; we should put The Mountain on the Olympic swimming team, right? :ROFLMAO: I think different muscles are used for different tasks and in different ways. Seriously, skills will always be an abstraction at some level. And different people will draw that line in different...

While WotC may have sued NuTSR eventually, the reason for their current suit is they are countersuing after NuTSR filed a case against WotC. And it is not over the content -- it is over NuTSR claiming ownership of trademarks that WotC rightfully owns. ORC is proposing management of the license...

Maybe they want to introduce the characters in the trailer so that: 1) By cutting scenes together in the trailer to concentrate a bunch about the character in a short snippet, it makes it easier to introduce the characters in the movie itself to those who have seen the trailer (The movie says...

Alec Baldwin was perfect casting for the Shadow. Shame the script was not. :-/

Agreed. I put "filler" in quotes because they did not feel like filler, but the big plot definitely took a back seat in them.

Yeah, Babylon 5 was an ideal middle ground. Excepting season 5 for reasons listed above, they had standard length seasons with enough room left for metaplot and good fun "filler" episodes that could focus on and build up minor characters.
