Maybe. But I've gotten the impression that they don't consider themselves on an unchangeable timeline.

Totally. But the underlying presumption that they are just improving the existing edition implies that he means that material using the existing SRD should remain compatible even after the update/replacement. I suppose playtesting will stress test that goal. And people who define compatibility...

I think the misunderstanding we're having here is that Kyle doesn't seem to consider one D&D as needing an entirely new SRD. So he's referring to the existing SRD. But I do think you and I have adequately demonstrated that the point needs clarification AD

Actually, given the context of the conversation, I'm pretty confident he was referring to material made with the existing SRD being compatible with upcoming One D&D adjustments. But of course it's an interpretation, and it would probably be good to have someone follow up more explicitly. But...

Kyle did say "One thing I can guarantee right now is that it will be 100% compatible. Anything you build with the SRD will work with the new rules" And all the discussion is about modifying or bridging to the existing SRD. Not writing something brand new. He also said: "We don't even think of...

Or they needed to focus on advertising for keys from the golden vault for a week. They tend to try to avoid piling things in the same week. And given that they're doing interviews with YouTubers and such about the OGL, I wonder if there won't be more delays until they feel they have an open...

Unless they radically change course, what I've seen so far would let me use all my existing DM materials with barely a blink. And-- this might be shocking for those of us who are very hyperfocused on details (I count in that category)-- the changes on the player side wouldn't strike most of the...

I would disagree that those interactions are trust relationships. Certainly, I am forced to rely on services from some corporations each day, whether I trust them or not. And I 'hope' that it is not in their interest to screw me if they want to keep me as a customer. And sure, I stop dealing...

I sort of I feel like this was never a relevant question. Corporations are groups of people who change through time. Trusting the organization as a whole is trusting something that doesn't really exist as an entity. Heck, I suspect the people running the OGL show changed as this went forward and...

Just FYI, a set of posts went up on the DDB twitter feed. They are acknowledging that, based on feedback so far, the draft OGL 1.2 'hasn't hit the mark' and that the 'draft VTT policy missed the mark'.

This is a huge step in the right direction. No, they haven't said that they'll take de-authorization off the table. But they have said that it's an iterative process, and that they're going to solicit feedback. That means that taking de-authorization off the table is still on the table. For now...

I consider this announcement a very good step in the right direction. What will matter will be the actual license text. Until then, I don’t really have much opinion other than-- It’s a good sign that they are changing their approach in response to community feedback. We’ll see if I am satisfied...

From reading the replies in that thread, he's pretty directly suggested that what's happening is an overreaction. Will be curious to see what ends up being said on Friday.

Just to put in my opinion. Species is fine, but a little clinical. I'd probably get used to it pretty fast though. I like 'folk' better. But I'll openly admit I'm unfamiliar with whatever Germanic connotations it might have and will leave that up to people more educated on the topic. After...

That's fair. As a pedant myself (as my family frequently complains) I acknowledge my over generalization. AD

While I don't disagree that those are worlds that showed up in more than one product, I think it's hard to argue those are lines in the same sense as 2E. Though, arguably, the critical role books come closest AD

Perhaps the key difference now is that each setting is no longer launching a whole new line of products. They seem, largely, to be one-offs, with FR still being the exception. The multiverse part seems to be a light touch way of making every one of the books part of a 'multiversal setting'...

With regard to Greyhawk. Eh. We'll see. The 50 year anniversary might be enough of a hook for a slipcase release. And, as has been argued at great length in other threads, I think they could find a story/theme that takes advantage of Greyhawk's flavor in a way that differentiates it...

Given previous comments from DDB, it seems very unlikely to me that DDB wasn't already sharing a lot of this data with WotC via their licensing agreement. AD

I bet they're already doing it. I won't get in the discussion about whether ddb has been good or bad. I find their product largely excellent with some gaps that need filling. I'll agree that the fixing has appeared to slow recently. But last year they made numerous comments about how we couldn't...
