I think some certainly are. D&D group collapses because some people say “I’m not playing any Hasbro stuff” and someone else says “I don’t want to learn another game” so you just go back to playing video games, or board games, or sewing or working on restoring that classic car or whatever other...

Sounds about right, yeah. Maybe 15 million. Roleplaying is a precarious hobby, it is easy to fall out of if circumstances change. Oh I think many will. For a lot of people this will be their first edition change, and it’s not even going to be a particularly massive change. So why should they...

No, it’s the only reasonable one, a casual player is one who plays casually, isn’t too invested, could just stop participating in the hobby whenever. Someone getting a bunch of third party stuff is almost certainly beyond that point. Whether it’s third party stuff you would like or think is...

What? WotC don’t want to save the OGL, they want to destroy it, because they have some insane idea that it will bring them more money. Their new OGL doesn’t work if the old one exists but that has nothing to do with saving the OGL. And yes, WotC’s plans have been super dumb all through this, so...

Nope. They want their new edition to remain compatible with 5e to a large extent. That means material released using the 5e SRD could be used for the new edition. Third party stuff released under the OGL has never been allowed to explicitly state compatibility anyway, so there would be no...

No, that is not a realistic concern. D&D has never faced blowback for something that some other company did. This is 100% naughty word designed to make them look like good guys to certain people. Luckily, very few are falling for it. I’m 100% positive that community grousing could get them to do...

20 years of nudity, sex, gore and nude sex gore released under the OGL and no one associating it with WotC even when people get mad about it shows that this is a complete non-issue and any supposed concern about this by Hasbro is fake.

That’s up to us, really. If every customer WotC has made that their condition to continue being customers, what choice would Hasbro have? Being defeatist just ensures you’ll be defeated.

I’m not a 3PP, but to get me as a customer back, this is what Hasbro would have to do 1: sign on to the Paizo-led ORC with the 3.5 and 5e SRDs. Preferably also update the OGL with a 1.0b version that explicitly states no version of the license can be revoked or de-authorized ever, then release...

Of course we can. Without customers there is no money. The wave of canceled D&D Beyond subscriptions clearly scared Hasbro. Next up, do not go to see the new movie, recommend not seeing it, argue against seeing it. Tanking that will hurt Hasbro’s move to try to make D&D about something other...

So customers need to make sure that the alternative to this solution is certain company death. They'll take the solution they don't like if the alternative is complete destruction.

Because by then WotC hated the OGL. That's when they were planning to move to 4e, and that edition wasn't released under the OGL. They didn't think they had any powers to deauthorize the OGL at that point, but they for sure didn't want to do anything to strengthen it or make it better.

The problem with that plan is ... we already have video games, and if you want to do video game stuff, then video games are better. This seems to be geared up to puncture the D&D fad bubble with lots of players leaving the hobby and instead of WotC being set up to quietly go into maintenance...

I'm willing to listen to them. The first steps they'd have to take would be 1: Forget having their own license. Sign on to Paizo-led ORC. Do not attempt to have any involvement in its development, simply sign on to it and attach the 3.5 and 5e SRDs to it when it's finished. 2: Fire Hasbro CEO...
