Someone should create a Twitter bot that deauthorizes the 1.0a OGL at midnight then authorizes 1.0a for another 24 hours.
Edit: or in an I’m Spartacus move everyone on social media add “I authorize OGL 1.0a” in their handle or signature.
Indeed. It is a common tension among shareholders between those wanting long term returns, and others demanding immediate value.
In the past few decades short term value stripping has gotten headlines.
This has the feeling of stumbling towards a license to a yet-to-be-revealed Steam-like digital toolset with a lock in that what is created under this isn’t promiscuous on other platforms.
This seems the core language.
“The next OGL will contain the provisions that allow us to protect and cultivate the inclusive environment we are trying to build and specify that it covers only content for TTRPGs. That means that other expressions, such as educational and charitable campaigns...
Yup. A PC currently runs a Titanheart Sorcerer from an Arcadia issue. The characters made abundant use of stronghold and retainer rules from Strongholds and Followers.
I’ve customized magic items nearly every loot trove with magic items that have “+”s using some 3rd party magic item...
Fair point. But I didn’t want to get into dividing definitions with walls about what the fuzzy “casual players” mean. Not worth IMO it if we have a charitable, inclusive, open mind.
There’s another thread about jumping to other systems. I didn’t invent this, some on ENWorld have already said they in the planning already. Because I didn’t say “some DMs” didn’t mean I meant “all DMs”.
I’m asking those who are making those plans due to the leaked OGL 1.1 reasons.
It looks like the 1.1 OGL leak is inspiring DMs to run future games with different system rules.
How are casual players responding to DMs who are moved about what’s going on in the community?
Are casual players pushing back against DMs making changes due to all this?
The portions that allow WotC to take your material released under OGL 1.1, not pay you anything, themselves republish and profit on it, then exclude you from using the license and your material, kinda feels like reverse uno.
The Reverse UnoGL?
