Arcane. I mean, it would be sooo easy... the lore is there, the artwork is there, the maps are there - and lots of room for expansion into the rest of the world.

Highlighting the relevant portions: More certainty under CC, therefore less certainty that WotC won't pull the same stunt again with the OGL at some point in the future. No other way to read that, really. The SRD 5.1 CC content is a tiny subset of the SRDs released for D&D 3.0 and 3.5, D20...

Or the much more comprehensive SRDs for 3.0E, 3.5E, and Modern.

Less playing 4D chess, more stumbling around blindfolded in a china shop.

Yes, I've looked through the CC guides. While images and the like are quite clear, text is a bit more vague in the guidance. The most I can find regarding indicating text modifications is that example, but I would assume something more practical than calling out every instance of...

I expect to see publishers (both 3PPs using the WotC 5.1 SRD and indies producing their own games) to create their own SRDs to release under CC BY 4.0. This gives downstream publishers the option to keep their content closed or CC, whereas an SA licence would require share-alike. I'm still not...

I beg to differ! Some of my grudges date back to primary school, yet I'm in perfect health. I hope old "Stinky" Perkins* sublimes in physics hell for all eternity. :devilish: * Surnames changed to protect the guilty.

Nothing wrong with grandma's crow gizzards smothered in gristle.

Still not using the OGL going forward, but at least I don't have to go back and re-write my core books for now. Next edition, though... ;)

Given everything that has come out of WotC over recent weeks, that possibility seems somewhat... alternate reality? 😜

Wait, WotC's in this thread?! :oops:

Thieves' Guild! 🥷

Irrespective of whether WotC actually attempts to do anything against websites, there is always the risk of the owners just taking them down to avoid problems, or because their interpretation of events is that their site is no longer permitted, or once they receive a complaint from WotC, or just...

It's possible that they will change their mind once ORC is finalised, but as it stands most supporting publishers who have made statements are saying they will release SRDs. A fair portion of those say they will use CC if ORC turns out not to meet their needs. This is already shaping up to be a...

I agree, it's just looking at plant cells under a microscope and ignoring the attempted deforestation. It's clear that the goal here is to neuter the OGL to prevent forward-cloning material for 6E. Everything is only how, not why.

Literally every other industry would be offering these streamers sponsorship deals. I mean, does WotC also ask their advertising agency to pay them?

Which would work for someone wishing to create a less run-of-the-mill magic system, but my point was really that the common perception of D&D having "Vancian" magic doesn't really hold up. It's very easy to step away from the way TSR/WotC have handled magic. Alternative magic systems were very...

Or one could develop an actual Vancian magic system*, as opposed to the many-times-removed interpretation used in D&D over the decades. * Mythras Lyonesse already has one example, that still leaves Dying Earth.

I presume there are existing laws in the US against hate speech, harassment, discrimination, etc., right? Why should a corporation be in the business of enforcing the law? Should WotC also add "no driving under the influence" or "no murder" to the clause? Not that I for one minute believe the...
