I don't know that exploration of sexuality of any sort belongs in D&D branded products. If you find a way to talk positively about sexuality without the sex... then push the envolope. I think Hasbro's official stance is gonna remain that there's just blurry question marks under your armor and...

Well, I DON'T want to take your side, but it is legitimate to wonder whether they intend to use this against objectionable content, or unobjectionable content created by objectionable people. I understand that those are loaded terms that may be offensive. I'm curious whether this will mean...

I disagree with your sentiment, but applaud the delivery. Bravo!

It wasn't a release, it was a leak.

I mean, the leaked PDF contained THIS text I don't know what to say about anyone who seriously thought this was the document's final form.

Yeah, i see a lot of cases where people, who i would under most circumstances consider smart and reasonable, manufacture their own hurt feelings by placing a level of trust and familiarity where it was never warranted or even asked for. If you just a practice a little care in to what degree you...

They said "Content already released under 1.0a will also remain unaffected."

I was kind of "team hasbro" this whole time. Does this statement do anything to resolve the issues people had? Removing the royalty structure, confirming that stuff previously released under 1.0a stays licensed, and clarifying the owenership of content seems to solve what most of the issues...

Depending on how playtests shake out, this may mean the gain advantage on the next OGL revision they put out.

How does any of this matter if WotC goes ahead and says that Pathfinder is released under an unauthorized version of the OGL? Without open systems worth publishing for, what use is the license?

Yeah. Capitalism as we know only goes back to the 19th century.

Their 3pm stream today is now showing cancelled. Edit: i don't even mind the license changes in and of themselves, but watching the damage they're doing to the community is shocking. At this point, I want them to reverse course just to mend the damage they've done to the community.

There's a stream scheduled for today on dndbeyond's twitch.

There are actually allowances in tax law for Hobby income. Many hobbyists take advantage. Let's suppose my Hobby is painting miniatures. My hobby budget is $50 a month. That buys me 2 miniatures to paint each month. I have enough time in my schedule to paint a third miniature, but not...

Stability of the D&D brand, and a realigning of "who" benefits from the OGL away from big companies like Paizo, and back toward small teams and solo developers? You can argue about whether the community needs or wants those things, but I can see an angle to what WotC is doing that "does not...

To clarify and condense my responses then, I think most of the license is fine, but WotC should add some more clear incentives to the license so people are getting something in exchange for what they're giving up by signing. I don't know whether it's on WotC to walk back the "deauthorized"...

Now I gotta ask. What's a (+) thread?

I love that you're investing in Old/New. I look forward to seeing what you create for those games.

This is exactly the stuff i'm complaining about. Nothing about this situation speaks to morality. You could argue there that the alteration of the license is unethical. But immoral? The eliminationist rhetoric (parasite) is maybe excusable provided we are specifically talking about WotC the...

I thought I remember an article, possibly in Dragon+, where Mearls said that the bloat of errata had gotten out of hand, and he was specifically tasked with reducing the amount of resources spent on errata for 4e releases, which he planned to do through a combination of better play testing...
