For me it is looking a lot better, but I would really want 2 more changes: Prior SRDs also added to the license (3.5 etc) The clause about harassment / obscene etc content should go to some third party, or at least have some ability to appeal to a third party rather than solely under WOTC's...

Seems a bit ironic posting this in a thread where lawyers are giving their views, and people are generally accepting that the lawyers likely have a better opinion of the legal situation - whereas what you're saying above suggests their opinion shouldn't have any more weight than any other person...

I could be wrong, but I think Hussar is saying would be worse than today's market, as in today's market 3PP can at least have multi million dollar kickstarters playing in the 5e space, and players can get a wide variety of content. Whereas a potential future is no 3PP for 5e / One D&D, so...

Yeah, I agree, you'd have to be really keen and want all material, certainly wouldn't be enough I'm interested in to warrant that - tends to be one book a year sort of thing. But I am aware of similar stuff with computer games and the like, subscribe to unlock all DLC type thing, like Paradox...

possibly if $30 unlocked all content, and new books automatically went to you without having to buy them, maybe it would get to that sort of value, but I can only see that for one person in a group. I'm one currently not planning to stop using DNDBeyond, as the content sharing and characters...

Reading 2 series at the moment - rereading the main series from the Aeon 14 books by M D Cooper, and going back through the Horus Heresy to catch up to where I got to years ago, and then have the fun of reading after Legacies of Betrayal for the first time. Will take a while, only up to Nemesis...

Re Vtt, their press release says the OGL won't cover VTT, so not sure that lines up. Outside of that, if they do their own VTT, they don't need to kill the OGL to prevent other content on there, they can just not allow it on there. If you meant they didn't want other VTTs out there with...

Oh I agree, but their statement had that feel nonetheless.

I don't know, probably used to everything in the gaming space, especially with the Soon TM stuff, but I'm used to soon being easily a few weeks.....

My view is probably coloured by only getting D&D news from Enworld, and reading community posts there. So what I saw initially was this: https://www.enworld.org/threads/rumor-ogl-will-not-be-supported-starting-with-one-d-d.693091/ From 11th November, with a lot of speculation as to whether...

I could be wrong, but didn't it start more or less out of nowhere, with a youtuber saying they heard the OGL was going away, before any time of questions being raised to WOTC for them to dodge - it was only after the video came out that people started asking WOTC questions.

Wondering if it may be first step in either reducing content in something like DMs Guild (You can only publish stuff here if under 1.1 or the like) - or opening up DND Beyond to more parties, but only if using 1.1 OGL or the like.

But it wasn't perfectly managed by Doctor Strange, hence what happened near the end of the movie - and regarding Wandavision - perhaps the people expressing the opinions didn't pay much attention to / see the post credit scene of Wandavision. . It is a tricky area though, and part of the...

I don't know, I don't know what evidence they may be using, a lot of this may be going into prisoner's dilemna sort of such, where it may just be fear of what others may do that drive it. Why has Cluedo / Clue changed names of characters / locations over time? Why has Monopoly changed it's...

If people can't bring 2014 5e PHB to table using 2024 PHB, then yes there is an issue - I guess from what I have seen of the playtests thus far, I don't think this holds true. It may require slight tweaks here and there (like getting class ability at different level, not getting stat score from...

Fair enough if doesn't hold water for you, but for me it is like when a company may change it's branding, up to and including brand name, even with companies that are gradually losing market share and continue to do so post brand change, so why go to that expense? As they believe they would...

Well, depends on how well they can define metrics, but yes, I think if the books continue to sell as well as they are today, having the PHB still strongly up in the book ratings on Amazon etc, I think they could consider that a success. If they can determine who is buying the books, if they can...

I think they want people to buy the books, but I think it is new customers they want to continue buying the books, with some degree of existing customers. They want it to be a game that the likes of Critical Role and such will continue to play / stream, and might be looking to make changes they...

I think they are taking the opportunity to further refine the game, to make sure it still appeals to a large audience going forward as it does today - they fear that perhaps if they left it as it was with only minor errata, they could get left behind. So trying to keep main focus of game going...
