    An IP lawyer just broke down the new OGL draft (v1.2)

    Yup. It's still a dog :poop: sandwich, they just picked out the corn.

    An IP lawyer just broke down the new OGL draft (v1.2)

    He was just on a livestream with Nerd Immersion talking about this, too.

    The new OGL 1.2, What is Victory?

    Easy if you can get in front of a judge. Expensive to get there. And I'd hope you make it, too, but it likely means all your potential profits from the book would go the lawyers, leaving that victory kind of hollow. Which is the entire problem with this situation.

    The new OGL 1.2, What is Victory?

    They yanked an anti-captialist work as hateful, while adding terrible racist baggage to the Hadozee in their own work. I don't trust who's in charge NOW with morality policing, let alone 20 years from now.

    I think I know how the morality clause acceptable(+)

    The whole thing should be pulled. If they want to create a STL or GSL 2.0 to handle trademark protection, that's their business. This whole thing would be fine if it wasn't trying to steal something back from the commons.

    The new OGL 1.2, What is Victory?

    Do you trust Wizbro not to come after you if you try? Because that's the core of the issue. WotC had trust. There was a 22-year ceasefire over this sort of thing. And now WotC's thrown all that away because it wants to chase VTT money, and wouldn't mind an easy case of SLAPPing a small fry down...

    The new OGL 1.2, What is Victory?

    I am very much not a fan of James Raggi or Lamentations of the Flame Princess. But I have to admit when someone I dislike immensely has a good point. Especially when considering that WotC wants to be the sole arbiter here. No. Give the job to someone you don't control if you must, or leave it...

    Never give up, never surrender.

    Why We Should Work With WotC

    No. This is a mess of their own making, and they made it out of greed. We are the wronged parties here. You do not compromise with an abuser in such a manner as to give them the opportunity to victimize you again. They walked up and slapped us. We do not need to and should not let them bully us...

    That's why I'd want to put up 1e and 2e SRDs, too. Let folks make ANY version of D&D they want

    D&D General Is D&D Survey Feedback Read? [UPDATED!]

    There's "broken," and then there's "smashed into pieces, trampled on by elephants, then ground into fine powder."

    news scoop: insider account of how the statement was drafted, and the fear-based culture in Wizards offices

    Historically ALL capitalism has inevitably transitioned to plutocracy, so I don't see what your point is.

    D&D General Is D&D Survey Feedback Read? [UPDATED!]

    There is only one :mad:ing thing I want, and that's for them to affirm they cannot deauthorize or revoke the OGL 1.0a! That's it. That's all. They can make whatever :poop: change they want as a new license. But I want them to STOP with the Orwellian word games and just follow the :mad:ing law!

    WotC: We Are Not Making AI Dungeon Masters

    Eh. I kinda expected him to be the sacrificial lamb they turned Kyle into, TBH.

    First, affirm that OGL 1.0a is irrevocable, and that all prior content made under it can be used in perpetuity. Then issue a 1.0b with those words actually in the license. The 1.0b would be placed outside of company control. If the ORC is up by then (depending on terms) I'd reissue the existing...

    Read the actual OGL document and take the survey when it comes out

    There is a 0% chance any question regarding leaving the OGL alone is going to be among the curated things they ask about. Any such feedback will have to go in the suggestion box, which will 100% be screaming into the void. Filling out the survey is fine, if you want to waste your time, but only...

    Another wise man once said "he who goes through the door frontwards is rushing towards the future. He who goes through the door backwards is dwelling on the past. He who goes through the door sideways is going to Bangkok."

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you ACTUALLY use 3rd Party Books?

    My entire divine pantheon takes elements from Green Ronin's The Book of The Righteous, I offer The Blood Hunter and the Gunslinger as character options, i use some lore from Tal'Dor'ei, and I bought A5E's Monster Menagerie specifically for use in punching up monsters, as well as several Kobold...
