Dragonlance is owned by WotC, the only place you can publish them is on DMsGuild. Maybe you can also just host them somewhere yourself without charging money, but DMsG is the only place to charge for it

I am not seeing WotC panicking over DH. They ‘panicked’ over 4e because its sales were bad and falling, not because someone somewhere released a competing game. That competing game gained traction because 4e was failing all by itself, not the other way around. Since I do not see DH taking on...

then you lose the advantage CC has over ORC and anything that was said in that regard applies to CC-BY vs CC-SA as well (it is even worse than ORC as CC-SA is not limiting the SA to mechanics) nah, it shows that people are lazy and just type CC instead of CC-BY because they do know which...

or vice versa, not sure either, I see this more as a curiosity, it has no bearing beyond that point

I don't think anyone claimed PF outsold 4e in total, the most was that it did so for some quarters. Pretty sure that PF did not outsell 4e in total (at least for the time they both existed in parallel), the odds seem to be against PF having done so even for a few quarters. I'd still prefer...

the SRD is in CC and about as permissive as it gets (short of public domain). D&D Beyond is a way to buy their products, most of which you can also get as a book or for some VTTs. DMsGuild allows third parties to use WotC settings for their 3pp products. Could WotC include more in the SRD...

you said they should not be able to do so, not that they are allowed to and doing so is ok no idea, it would be a violation of the license though, but that only matters if there is anyone to enforce it, kinda like the OGL

probably worse, back then medicine had its limits, but at least the doctors accepted reality and gave sound advice

I am not sure how much I trust one person speaking for the whole duration when they worked ‘at both companies during different parts of the 4E era.’, which even leaves room for parts of that era where they worked for neither Not saying PF outsold 4e, just that I do not see them as the authority...

yes I disagree, ToV uses the CC and does not follow its own ORC license by KP withholding some mechanics from their SRD. If they are so convinced that share-alike is so good and important, why do they force anyone downstream but do not do so themselves? I’d much rather they used CC than ORC...

it’s a more restrictive license, I assume that is what they meant

no idea, I certainly do not take them not saying so as evidence that they didn’t. I assume they had the IC2 numbers, if they had wanted to say that, they would have had a reason / excuse to do so

they do, I am not sure they have a good idea of whether the license is worth its fees though. It’s one thing if you license a specific product, like Goodman does with the OAR line. It is quite another if you could release your own game in pretty much the same state with the license number filed...

of course they can, but it still is more work to create your own version than to just copy&paste hers

it is not your point, it is mine however eh, SD has a license that lets you create content for it, I do not see that Kelsey is obligated to also allow the creation of a competing game. I am also no fan of ToV being based on the CC but releasing its SRD under ORC. You benefited from the freedom...

I like the flexibility of CC, I rather have them create something they do not share than nothing at all. Neither scenario gets you any new content under ORC I can understand a publisher releasing an SRD under a license that lets people create content for their game but not a new spinoff game...

not sure what is weird about it, they want to protect what they create, so ORC is out. Can’t really blame them for that

It's not Sly, it's Monty, Sly just posted it here. It's Darrington, it's Shadowdark, it's ORC (ToV and PF2), it probably will be Draw Steel, not sure where Matt is license wise now. As far as I can tell he could have easily used CC (i.e. wants to be as permissive anyway) but is reinventing the...

should be close to done, release to backers in maybe a month I guess

that would require Paizo to know the D&D sales numbers
