I'm seeing a lot of assumptions being made, and I also got the impression that my recollection about events might be influenced by my feelings, so I checked: 21st of December: https://www.enworld.org/threads/wotc-announces-ogl-1-1-revised-terms-royalties-and-annual-revenue-reporting.693973/...

Sorry, that was a waste of my time. That was rehashing the same thing again and again in long form that was not relevant to my point, the examples given were ridiculous! The two sides I was talking about: People who feel that Harry Potter is offensive by way of the author, we should all feel...

But at what point do things become ridiculous and laughable? Even IF the intent was to create the Goblins as an evil view on Jewish people, how serious do you think people who read/watch/play Harry Potter will take that. Even IF that intent was there, the parallels are so detail specific, that...

I'm not really a Harry Potter fan, I never read the books, I did watch most (in not all) the movies (and found them entertaining), and I own the LEGO Harry Potter games on Steam (came in a LEGO game bundle). The amount of money Rowling earned from my media consumption over the last 20+ years was...

They have never before and I've not seen anything that indicates that's about to change...

Isn't it oddly ironic that TSR destroyed SPI with a loan that they then called in two weeks later (bad faith loan imho). Then subsequently killed themselves by loans they couldn't pay back due to book destroying shenanigans... And before someone is going to blame the 'Evil Witch of the West'...

To be honest, Asmodee buying FFG was already the writing on the wall, things already took a turn for the worse when the split up FFG (Edge, Atomic, etc.). I'm a fan or L5R, I have a bunch of the old CCG, the old RPGs and quite a bit of the minitures game (Clan Wars). I had some hope that FFG...

I'm not saying that those campaigns don't deliver, I'm saying that when they launch on KS they do not have a completed product (yet).

Is an Orc, Dwarf or Elf an IP that's owned by TSR/WotC? Many, many things in D&D were just 'stolen' from others, which in turn 'stole' them from someone else. Only very specific implementations of D&D TSR/WotC could claim as their 'own'. You could replace the word 'stolen' by 'inspired' to get...

As one of the players who wanted this, it kept me busy between sessions designing and upgrading homes. Many floor plans and illustrations were drawn for the stuff I wanted to build.

Bzzz! You're out! ;-) WotC made an expansion for the Alternity RPG for StarCraft. Source: https://starcraft.fandom.com/wiki/Alternity:_StarCraft_Edition

Switch game system or genre but not both I do not agree with that! Like, at all! A game system is a 'nice to have', but imho not the reason why you change games. The same old stuff just with different rules is boring as all heck! A long, long time ago my 'school' group started with HeroQuest...

They had an idea, a story and some art. Not a product. That's not unique to this KS, I would say that this is pretty much the rule and not the exception for RPGs on KS. People knew before backing this KS that a rulesset was not yet decided on, it wouldn't be D20/5E (that was all they knew). They...

Certainly interested in Planescape, but with the direction WotC has been going both in writing and design decisions, changes are great that I'll also pass on this title... Maybe we'll get some nice minis for it...

WotC/Hasbro pulled back from the OGL shenanigans and even released the 5.1SRD under CC. That is what we were angry about. If you want similar actions to have similar effects you need to show to companies that making bad decisions and reversing those bad decisions (and more) leads to some form of...

Neither is CC-BY-4.0. Sure the SRD 5.1 is licensed under it, but it allows for probably the most simple license there is, besides the OGL1.a. What would adding another license into this mix add, besides more fracturing?

Getting A5E to a CC-BY-4.0 license will assure compatibility with the WotC 5E SRD under CC-BY-4.0. Getting the OGL1.0a updated as well would keep compatibility with older material. In the future, will ENworld Publishing release (A5E) products under one or both licenses? And will ORC still be a...

Isn't that your players letting you off easy? ;-) RIFTS!?!? Many people would rather play Dangerous Journeys than ever touch anything ever again made by Palladium... If WotC/Hasbro is now toxic, Palladium is at the level of radiation miasma. I have one word for you: Robotech! I would have fed...

And that is great for you now. But in a few years or decades, the next generation? When I grew up, air-conditioning in cars was considered a luxury. These days a couple of car manufacturers want you to pay a subscription fee to activate car seat heating... A long, long time ago, you bought LPs...

AltaVista (search engine) might have, they were still around when the OGL came into being... Alta Fox Capital on the other hand... ;-)
