It's less about if they own elves, clerics and dwarves, and more about the wording and creative choices behind their iteration of these things. Sure you can just recreate a virtually equal elf, but it's easier to build a network of collaborative works around it if you have all the basics spelled...

It seems like the guys at Paizo are as confused as us:

It could be me, for some reason until now I thought it was spelled Jubilex.

(IANAL) What does it mean the "notice of deauthorization of OGL 1.0a" is in the new "Introduction to System Reference Document 5.1" and not in the OGL 1.2 draft? Is the OGL 1.0a deauthorized only for the SRD 5.1? What are they trying to do with this?

Good, but not good enough. They should release the whole SRD under CC-BY. Except the owlbear, they can keep their owlbear. Jokes aside, It's good news, but I think they can do better with this creative commons public stunt. Release a robust document, the four base classes, the four base races...

To me, it looks like their concern isn't a second Pathfinder, but a third party making a "D&D movie" or another non affiliated media content with stuff like "owlbears and magic missiles". They want to be a multimedia titan, and the old OGL was a barrier to that.

Predictions for Monday: WotC announces that has never been an OGL 1.1/2.0, it was all an ARG to promote their next adventure: The Red Wizards of Thay are on Sword Coast, and they have the Keys to the Golden Vault, an arcane device they intend to use to sever the access to the Weave for everyone...

- Solve the license mess, wada wada, you know how and my lawyers would know too. - Reboot Forgotten Realms to 1358 and publish a remastered Grey Box + Savage Frontier book, with better organization, modern sensibilities, and compatible with the current ruleset. Maybe it can have tieflings and...

It's all that matter in this whole mess, if it doesn't matter WotC would not try to revoke a license that everyone, even the creators, thought it was irrevocable. Everything else they write in the next OGL is just fluff

It will be corrected when we have codified proof the OGL 1.0a isn't going anywhere, since it was created to be perpetual and irrevocable. Until then, it's just deception as usual.

I don't have an answer yet, but IMO, Wild Beyond the Witchlight wants to be a sandbox, without providing meaningful choices. What would I recommend? Ditch the advice the book gives of running everything in order, don't be afraid to provide information to the players, so they can travel the...

The last I ran was Rime of the Frostmaiden, which I found really solid after some minor adjustments. I'm running Wild Beyond the Witchlight right now, and tbh I think it's inconsistent at beat. The first chapter was really good, but after that I feel it wants to be a sandbox, but don't have...

I would give a C- to the sarcastic IA response. At least it was sincere and didn't gaslight me, unlike WotC.

I would lower it to at least a C, since the deauthorizing older versions of the OGL is the main issue. They might be making an absurd initial offer to make an otherwise unacceptable "peace treaty" look reasonable. Edit: Ops, I inverted "initial offer" and "peace treaty". It's fixed now

Stranded in Faerie after party

From books, I've used a lot of adventures and monsters, and I often use magic items. But what I use more often in my "day-to-day" as a DM are small things like encounters, puzzles, traps, NPCs, small lair or room maps and things that I unplug from the original context, or get from the patreons I...

Speaking only for myself, it's less a boycott than it's a deep disappointment. Seeing so many small publishers that seem to have passion for the craft, it feels almost pointless to invest your money in a company like WotC. While I believe that there are people in their design team that really...

Every day Morrus re-authorizes the OGL v1.0a, and every night Wizards de-authorizes it. It has been like that since 2023.
