I think if they said the following: 1. No change for anything already published under 1.0a. 2. OGL 2 is basically 1.0a with a no bigotry clause and a no blockchain clause. 3. OGL 2 is irrevocable. That would get a lot of support. I don’t think they’re going to do it, but I think it would be...

To be clear, I'm seeing almost no one actually defending Wizards. Just partisans hunkering down in their corners, and any anger is directed at the competing corp...okay, it's Paizo. They're mad at Paizo. :D

I will not be drawn in by your Socratic sorcery! (I agree with you.)

This one is hilarious, as you'd expect from the source:

I mean, there's plenty of stuff like this:

Are we sure it was edited in real-time, or was it just copy-pasted from Word so someone could extract the tracked changes in the document?

I'm not sure it's what you mean by a "silver lining," but Elon's Algorithm suggests the counter-backlash has already begun. There are still a lot of people out there who love D&D, even if they don't love Hasbro's corporate forkery, and are starting to give some statements by competing...

If we have to choose one "face of the brand," my vote would be those kids fighting the Demogorgon in their friend's basement.

I would 100% watch a documentary about kids popping open a Starter Set for the first time! I know what my first experience was like, and the D&D brand is still attached to that for me, but I can't know if it has the same effect on kids today.

I suspect that's because you don't see it. I'm certain many, many more people have purchased or been gifted a Starter Set than have ever heard of CR, let alone watched an episode. By way of détente, perhaps we could agree that CR has done more for D&D branding within the online community than...

I think I understand you, but I think your sense of scale is way off. It's like saying the Mekong River defines the Pacific Ocean (to choose the most grandiose example I can think of). It's fair to say every one of the few million people who've watched a CR episode know what D&D is. I run into...

I think CR was huge for D&D*, and yet this seems mildly bonkers to me. The D&D brand is fifty years of, um, D&D, nerd jokes, the 80s fad, the Satanic Panic, the cartoon, bad movies, dozens of computer and video games, a vast constellation of memes, Stranger Things, Community, Big Bang Theory...

On the one hand, we have our industry peers. On the other, we have people who take a risk creating a new system or developing an original idea. :D :LOL: :ROFLMAO:

This is hilarious. Did Sam write this?

Yikes. I hope these publishers running away from their contractual rights under OGL 1.0a are proceeding with cool heads and the best legal advice. Thanks for the explanation.

English translation, please. Is the idea that the court could say, "You wanted to use SRD 5 so you produced this PRD 5 without trying to distinguish your work from SRD 5"?

So, you'll settle for unconditional surrender, then.

They switched in March 2015. I don't think the SRD 5 was even released then.

Damn, you're good. Foiled again.

I think we need to ramp up the rhetoric, and I suggest henceforth referring to them as the Hasbro-WotC Regime.
