Yeah, there's a difference between an actual grognard who still plays 1st or 2nd Edition AD&D (and won't be impacted by current events either way) and a longtime gamer who just plays whatever current iteration/reimagining that is released by the corporate IP holder.

Otherwise 6E might end up with a new Oathbreaker Paladin that reads: "You de-authorized a pact that your deity considered irrevocable for your own personal gain. You now have perpetual disadvantage on all future reaction rolls against those that know of your treachery..."

WOTC chap: "Sir, his blip is still off our scopes and we can't get it back. Your orders sir? Sir!?" WOTC Commander: "To be...or not to be..." BOOM

I have a free account but uninstalled the app from my phone so I bet that sent them reeling, lol.

There's a difference?

Yep, and remember that saying that orcs are evil is also apparently racist. Tomorrow evil demons might be racist. And God knows what after that.

Yep, even with the universally despised crap that Nu-TSR was spouting it's just too slippery a slope for WOTC to be the final arbiters on what is and isn't "objectionable" for any release going forward. Best thing I can think of is to force anyone who uses the OGL to put a disclaimer in their...

No, it is closed to anything that WOTC claims is hateful, racist, or sexist. Big difference.

Yep, gotta love WOTC's response to their own PR debacle, lol.

Yep, unless they update OGL 1.0a to include the word "irrevocable" the fact remains that their cards have been shown and nothing will ever be truly safe under the old license.

I know right. "Kicking down doors and stealing goblins?" People are gonna think we're a bunch of weirdos!

Cynthia Williams walking through WOTC HQ right now: "It's just...good business..."

Now all we need is for Critical Role to announce that they're switching back to PF to really end this day with a bang.

Paizo: "Oh look at that WOTC, our site went down today too..."

Cue Steve Rogers "I can do this all day..."

"You can count on us not to go back on our word."

Just out of curiosity does anyone have "righteous indignation" on their "WOTC response" Bingo card? Like if their video turns out to be nothing other than "it has come to our attention that our leaked OGL has generated a large amount of backlash from those who are clearly put off by our new...

If I were in charge of WOTC's response I'd advise them to take the "Sonic the Hedgehog" approach. Remember the outcry against Sonic's appearance in that first trailer? So for WOTC I'd have them copy what the director of that movie said. A simple tweet stating: "With regard to the leaked 1.1...

I assume they could at least amend the original 1.0a OGL to include the word "irrevocable?" That's the only thing that I can think of that will restore perpetual ongoing trust at least with regard to producing content for everything up through 5E.

Once upon a time, WOTC wanted to cross the river. We all know WOTC cannot swim, and will drown in water. A relaxing 3rd party content creator was sunbathing along the river bank. WOTC called to the creator, "Hey, creator, take this OGL to give me a lift across the river!" "No way!" replied the...
