Here Raggi lays out some levelheaded, well-reasoned opinions & gives multiple historical examples of how similar "morality clauses" have existed in the past. He wonders how a "morality clause" might be used as a bludgeon if publicly held social mores drastically change. Here also gives a...

Another than a beholder (or a gauth which is just a beholder variant that feeds on magic) I can't reall think of anything...

Which is a years long extrapolation of a short article Gygax wrote in the July 1977 issue of Dragon Magazine #8, page 4. I addressed this issue in part in a post I made in another thread regarding monsters Wizbros claims as so-called IP. Like Jimmy "Superfly"?! I wish I could have seen that.

Have you read my post about Wizbro's so-called IP?

Do you you really think Wizbro wants to roll the dice against Blizzard/Activision's warchest? I think they'd only want to flex against 3PP that they know they significantly dwarf.

And then the Saul Zaentz Company (doing business as Tolkien Enterprises) slapped them w/ a C&D. Hobbits became halfings, Balrogs became balors, Ents became treants, etc...

TSR/Wizbros are the Disney of fantasy RPGs.

I guess some wargamers in Wisconsin had a thing for knock-off kaiju toy figures...

Especially since the owlbear didn't originate in D&D.

No, it was Record of Lodoss War. The ironic thing being that it was directly based on the author's actual D&D campaign. I'm more partial to Wrath of the Righteous. Yeah, I agree Wizbro screwed up by not making more of their obvious licensing opportunities the past 23 years.

Then Hasbro should have been focusing on that back in 2000 instead of selling off their software division & hawking the D&D game rights to Infogrames. That can't claim they didn't know or had no idea. It was already obvious by this time this was goig to be a big thing. Warcraft, Diablo, Ultima...

The ironic thing about this is C-movie producers were doing better D&D-adjacent movies on shoestrings budgets during the '80s (and I realize that's not saying much) better than anything Sweetpea Productions churned out in 2000+.

The OSR spaces I frequent have received a deluge of newcomers the past 2 weeks asking how they can start playing OD&D, B/X & AD&D due to Wizbro's recent leaks. (They are directed to Swords & Wizardry, Old-School Essentials & OSRIC respectively.)

Yes, that is exactly what Wizbro should have done and none of this present animus would exist. Wizbro should have announced that all future reference document material for 1D&D/5.5e would be offered under a new license (that would not be named anything similar to "Open Game License"), but would...

For all we know "Kyle Fields" could be what they named a goat that they planned to drive out into the desert. ;)

I was just time linking the quotes to the video, now I know for the future you don't want that.

8:32 in the video 'On the survey process, this is a smoke screen also, because they already know what we want. We want to have assurance that they're not going to go back on their word and that has to be in writing and that already is in writing in 1.0a. All they need to do is add the words...

$30/month for a not quite MMORPG? Is Wizbro’s leadership nuts?! Are there even any MMOs that charge anything close to that? How many people do they realistically think are going to be willing to pay $30/month, that’s $360/year, for a not quite MMO? Do they have any idea that the strength of...
