    D&D 5E (2014) Well played WOTC (or Free RPG Day 2015)

    I think it is more than that. I think when those in charge at WotC came up with the OGL, they didn't think of the RPG industry as a zero sum market. I believe that thinking changed when they moved away from the OGL and that decisions like this are in part based on what participation can do for...

    D&D 5E (2014) Well played WOTC (or Free RPG Day 2015)

    It's certainly their choice to not participate in FREE RPG Day. They seem to feel it is best to do things on their own time and schedule. They also set up a "Dungeon Master Appreciation Month" in February this year out ahead of March 4th, GM's Day. I'm sure the timing is coincidental. At...

    D&D 5E (2014) Here's a (great) product idea for you, WotC

    The contracts they had for the artwork, excepting as PDFs or straight up reprints in their original form, might prohibit selling collections and revised versions of older material. Once they get into needing some, most, or all new artwork, it becomes less attractive for them to revisit the...

    D&D 5E (2014) So, 5e OGL

    Folks should probably grab it now before it becomes unavailable due to the license being rescinded. ;) http://www.rpgnow.com/product/17705/Aid-SRD-35-Revised-Full-Bundle

    [June 2015] What are you reading?

    Lion Rampant – Medieval Wargaming Rules (Osprey Wargames) by Daniel Mersey https://ospreypublishing.com/lion-rampant-medieval-wargaming-rules Also, I've gone back in time to once again enjoy David Eddings's Elenium series.

    D&D 5E (2014) So, 5e OGL

    I think you hit on it when you mentioned the Giant series. For me, "modules" rather than "adventures," which is to say those products set up as locations or mini-settings rather than a pre-plotted series of scenes, tend to strike me as better overall.

    This Weekend @ The BoxOffice: 2015_May.31

    Finally caught Avengers: Age of Ultron and it was indeed a treat! :) I'd really like to see Ex Machina before it disappears.

    Of WotC produced adventures, I'd go with Red Hand of Doom but Lost Mine is right up there.

    D&D 5E (2014) So, 5e OGL

    Bottom line. Anyone can cease contributing new OGC but previously released OGC is out there and can be used with the corresponding license going forward. The license cannot be ended because the OGC is under the dictates of the corresponding license and the OGC cannot be undone because the...
