Professor (formerly known as) Dungeon Master, in his video, called the OGL a poison pill. Specifically, he said it was a license designed for everyone never to accept. Designed so that people like the (formerly known as) Dungeon Dudes would stop creating content. If everyone stops creating...

It's a pretty smart idea, and Microsoft has a history of working with ChatGBT, so they may well understand the full potential. Right now, ChatGBT can pull from the entire internet and respond like a 13-year-old. So if you are ok with a child DM, it is pretty close to that. But if you pump into...

The moral of the story is that youtubers, streamers, tweeters, creators, will go where the money is. They were quite happy to never make a video, promote, supplement any other product except 5e. Until the crowd moved away from 5e. Even now, is there promotion of other products on this forum? No...

Hey its fine, if people don't want to understand their rights, and they want to give away all their profits, I'm ok with it. good luck.

wooosh, clearly you missed all the points, I can't take unicorn seriously either tbh.

You can't sell it on the Drivethru section either? That is rough. You should try it on itch.io ?

Fair enough, lets call DMSGuild a cranked up version of OGL 1.1 where thousands of products give up 50% of their profits, even though they don't use any product identity. But I agree, that is on them.

Thats far from any truth, it is hard to know where to begin. They certainly didn't want books running around that said D&D Gary Gygax.

Fair enough, I guess it makes more sense if you are producing something and don't want to learn the legal ins and outs.

They are arguing about whether the original OGL can be revoked and other topics, not whether a dragon with colors requires a license, it doesn't. You are just further confusing everyone.

I get that you don't understand the difference, but its pretty clear to most lawyers what the difference is. The dragon stat blocks are copyright, you can't copy it word for word.

For software development, the point of open source licenses was that I could take someones entire lifes work, word for word, and reuse it in my project, under the conditions of the license. The point of the original OGL was that someone could take the 3e D&D rules, reproduce them in their...

I think the only people who search for licenses are the small percentage of creators. 99% of real gamers search for good games, not good licenses. I'm sure ORC will be popular though, since there was some reason people didn't like Creative Commons, I don't remember why. What I find stunning...

Why is Professor Mcgonny in every single thread 50 times. I gave up searching for Matt Colville in this video. Hats off to the lawyer for his amazing marketing ability on youtube, bit too brutal for me though watching someone that just chases headlines.

The critical role show is already falling off in viewership with Campaign 3. I honestly would have thought they would create a new TTRPG even before this debacle, because everyone would tune it to see it. It would be massive and completely freshen their show. There is only so much they can get...

Wow, that is so kind of you to try and update the post! Let me get you started so it looks like you did some effort: https://rpggeek.com/geeklist/152738/creative-commons-rpgs

Its definitely been great for youtubers too, add OGL to a title of a video and it will pop off hard. Why? Because the big youtubers are too scared to go up against Thanos.

It also stagnated the industry, all the creators, rather than innovating new games, just reproduced 5e content because it was low effort, high reward to get profits.

One could argue small creators have been waiting for WotC to slip up. WotC did slip up, though. The OGL 1.1 was insulting to everyone, absolutely everyone, regardless if you are writing your own TTRPG. The arrogance of the new Hasbro Microsoft Executives and their lackeys thinking they can...
