My real question is, what the heck did they think would happen if they peeved off thousands of people with a high degree of technology experience and who read 600+ page rule books for fun?
That's not how Ryan Dancey described it, you know, the guy who wrote it. He said Section 9 was was there to distinguish a draft from a final version that was authorized as the final version.
I am considering completely switching over to Monte Cook's Cypher System. Anybody know the ins and outs of it? Just wondering good points and bad points. Monte Cook is a brilliant game designer so I suspect Cypher is good, too.
If they re really trying to totally replace OGL 1.0a with OGL 1.1, I suspect they might DMCA strike every product on DriveThruRPG that is listed with the OGL 1.0a.
If Kickstarter ends anything under OGL 1.0a, I will boycott Kickstarter. Oddly, most of the Kickstarters I have backed had nothing to do with D&D (or a side benefit as I do a lot of 3D files for minis).
Years ago, I had TONS of WotC items in my DriveThru library. One day, it was all gone and I never got it back. I had to purchase all of it again when WotC started allowing PDFs of their old material again.
Did anybody notice that the edition wars and system wars that began when Advanced Dungeons and Dragons was released usurping the original boxed set and the supplements and have gone on for more than four decades through multiple editions and all sorts of gaming systems seem to have stopped...
PURE SPECULATION: The real reason that OGL 1.1 hasn't dropped has absolutely nothing to do with the leak but everything to do with all of the big 3pp saying no to the sweetheart contracts and now WotC is unsure how to proceed.
I'm sure if all of the big 3pp bond together in a class action...
The are literally under different license, not the OGL 1.1. OF course they are D&D products so I have no need for them any longer. Maybe if they produce something else I;d consider it, unless they get one of those WotC Creator badges on a product.
It's the same one I've been seeing everywhere, verbatim
Haven't seen a WotC Creator Badge on any of those products yet. Of course, OGL 1.1, which requires those badges, has not been released yet.
