This is barely a walk-back and they will slip the other stuff back in as soon as they can. And the Shield of "Diversity and Inclusion" hasn't been working well for Disney, it's not going to work here. 1.0a already encourages true diversity and inclusion. WotC must adopt the ORC as penance for...

That's not a road WotC wants to go down. DnD is 98% derivative IP with the serial numbers barely filed off.

Hasbro also has problems that they have licenses to make toys for Disney but Disney isn't making properties that are able to sell toys right now (exception: Spiderman, mostly thanks to Sony).

I haven't seen any Paizo news either, but my speculation based on how they designed Pathfinder 2nd Edition and Starfinder: Pathfinder 2 stripped quite a bit if not all of the copyrightable elements of the d20 SRD in their core rule book, up to and including how the book was organized. Paizo...

There is a thing (at least under US law) which is implied agreement (example 1: courts assume that if you are using software, you are agreeing to the terms of service to use the software; example 2: banks changing their TOS with customers and ending the notification with "if you disagree with...

IDK, they did similar with 4e. I've seen too many weird corporate stunts to write it off. And if they do set the whole 3rd party sphere on fire and burn it down, it could trigger an FTC investigation into monopolistic practices (not likely, but possible).

They could only do it for existing material if you publish something under the new OGL, because by using the 1.1 even once in a product you have agreed that 1.1 replaces 1.0a.

Yeah, generally you have to have some sort of superficial "I agree" and usually in software licenses using the software is a "de-facto" agreement (with court support, at least under US Law). So if you create something under One D&D's OGL you are de-facto agreeing that anything you made under 1.0...

Honestly, if this does somehow tank the OGL for Pathfinder, Starfinder, and Level-Up, I'm going to make my OWN system. With Hookers. And Blackjack. Maybe not hookers and blackjack.

The Rules Lawyer has a video up. Seems he got a copy of the leak, too. I admit I am not a lawyer, but - content built off of D20 SRD, D20 Modern SRD, or 5e SRD is likely fine, even future content, as long as you do not publish anything under the new license/SRD. Should you publish anything, no...

Since Eberron's moons are other planes, hopefully Planescape's planar magic will fill that hole. Was a bit disappointed that Strixhaven's new mechanics focused on social encounters and didn't contribute much new to magic.

Oh, for sure. It's an interesting concept for gaming but not one I'd like as a baseline. Although it kind of is a baseline with the stronghold rules, since strongholds are meant to be an alternative to dumping money into magical items. Another option that I've been thinking about is letting...

I got to thinking that this could be an interesting dynamic. Sure, a narrator would have to increase the wealth of drops to compensate for XP, and sure, players could buy (maybe) higher tiered magical items at earlier levels, but it would allow for strongholds to be invested in fairly early. And...

I love A5E's strongholds, but the text surrounding them is very focus on individual ownership rather than party ownership. If the party chips into make a stronghold, is it best to handle it through sub-strongholds? Let each party member have the stronghold feat?

Well, I figured out how I got that 25 million number, and it has to do with Games on Tabletop's poor web design choices. That's the total Games on Tabletop has raised, which is at the footer of every page. But when you're reading the comments of a campaign post and a bit blinded by rage, it...

I think what you are looking at is the Owlcat Games Kickstarter Kingmaker project, but Games on Tabletop is now displaying a different number raised than what they did before I posted this thing. I swear it was displaying $25 million before the news came out, but now it's showing around half a...

Funny you say that...I actually got a response from Brian Bauman regarding it. Let's compare and contrast Kingmaker's development vs. Grimmerspace, since both projects were launched around the same time. Grimmerspace is being led by one of the developers of Starfinder under an "indie" label...

Several times I've had plans postponed, but it isn't just that. It's the stalling, the lack of communication, the "bad news late on the day Friday so we can avoid it coming out in the press until Monday." There was one point where it took 3 months for their "monthly" update.

I am not surprised but I am angry and disappointed. Paizo really should learn from Enworld on how to run a crowdfunding campaign. Now if they have hard copies for sale at Gencon before I at LEAST get my PDFs, I will be full on enraged. Right now I am venting on Twitter, which is not something I...
