They also have the Pathfinder Compatibility License which is closer to the old d20 license (and the creator logo WotC is proposing). https://paizo.com/pathfinder/compatibility

During its height of popularity, Pathfinder had a considerable amount of 3PPs. Not nearly as much as 3E or 5E, but it even had it's share of successful Kickstarter campaigns (including some I'm still waiting to receive). But many left for 5E, others disappeared after failing to deliver...

Mandatory masks are only effective if you are willing to enforce their proper use. There are awful lots of people who seem to be incapable of keeping their masks above their noses. The best course of action is wearing a proper FFP2 mask yourself and avoiding physical contact.

There's now a statement from several German publishers (in German): https://midgard-online.de/verlag/neuigkeiten-archiv/details/238.html Heinrich Tüffers Verlag, Mannifest Games, Redaktion Phantastik, System Matters Verlag, Uhrwerk Verlag, Ulisses Spiele and Verlag für Fantasy- & Science...

Ulisses Spiele wants to make the license viable for the German and EU law. They are also going to release SRDs for all game systems they have the rights to (Torg, Fading Suns, Hexen and all editions of the Dark Eye). Hopefully Pegasus and Uhrwerk will join this effort. Maybe other publishers...

I have yet to see an apology from Wizards, so I can't rate it.

OAR 7 was announced in April 2023: Announcing OAR #7: The Dark Tower|Goodman Games

OAR 7 and 8 are based on Judge's Guild. The deal probably ended a while ago. On the bright side, they can release those as PDFs.

I guess that confirms that there will be no more OARs based on TSR modules.

In the case of the OGL 1.0, it's more like a tiny, glowing, red laser dot on its forehead.

That's why we have reason to believe that they want to kill of the SRD based games.

I guess I found a way for OGL NFTs to work after all but it's for an older edition: Mint Non Fungible Token (Item Creation) You can create blockchain positions. Prerequisite: Influencer level...

In what way would that need/use the OGL?

WotC has named the prevention of OGL based NFTs as a reason for their changes, but how would that even work? NFTs linked to certain rules? Character stats? Monsters in the SRD? If you can mint NFTs based on OGC, anyone else can as well. People could try to create some Play-to-earn NFT-treadmill...

Can't have competition for all those micro transactions. Those 146m were quite the investment.

This had been mentioned by Youtubers in yesterday's streams (the RulesLawyer if I recall correctly) and it should be emphasized. This paragraph doesn't necessarily say that VTT would be allowed under their new OGL. It only lists using a VTT (preferably their own) as a viable fan activity...

I liked the one about Hitler's D&D character dying.

Going from OGL 1.1 to OGL 2.0 might be an attempt to prevent people who search for news of the new license (once they officially announce it) from seeing all the negativity 1.1 has gotten. It will probably not work, but I guess it's worth a try for them.
