Reply to opening post. Well done, WOTC. Seriously, this is more than I was expecting. Now, if you’ll all excuse me, I’ve a 5e SRD to download from D&D Beyond.

Well, I’m certainly not going to forget that WOTC consider my (and other people’s) response an “overreaction”. Frankly, I find this opinion of WOTC’s insulting. Wait, seriously?

I salute Foundry for this statement. My group doesn’t play via VTT (we tried, but all of us hated it so we switched back to in-person), but if we had to do so again, I’d definitely use Foundry.

Too little, too late for me. I DON’T WANT a new OGL, I want the OGL 1.0(a) to be left alone and remain “authorized” indefinitely. But since that’s not the direction WOTC is apparently intending to go… I shall join the ORC-horde and await the BLACK FLAG’s arrival. Till then, I’ll continue...

Signed.

What about those game systems sold on DrivethruRPG that don’t use the OGL?

Reply to OP. My group is sticking with 5e for now anyway, but I personally am going to start purchasing from the folks over at Basic Fantasy and also Shadow of the Demon Lord.

Shadow of the Demon Lord would be safe then? I’ll have to check it out.

Reads entirety of thread. Wow. This is even worse than what I had been expecting.

My group has already made the decision not to move on to 1D&D, so we’re probably going to stick with 5e for the foreseeable future. I’ve also recently purchased a copy of Basic Fantasy (which looks drop-dead easy to customize and modify for home game use) and might ask my group to let me run an...

First, it should be noted that I use homebrew statblocks for every monster. Dragons are my favorite monsters to throw at my players, followed by froghemoths, and then constructs and giants. Certain low-level monsters like hell hounds and girallons are also fun for me.

I DM because I like running games more than I do playing in them.

reads entirety of thread Not entirely sure about the full implications of a new OGL, but it sounds like even more incentive for me to just stick with 5e and ignore 1D&D completely.

I GOT MY COPY! IT’S BEAUTIFUL!! WOO-HOO!!! Purchased it through Amazon monday, didn’t even pay for advanced shipping or anything like thar and it still got to my family’s house yesterday!

Gods in my settings fall into group 2 (progenitors) or are absent entirely, because at present all of my players are Baptist Christians who reject the ideas that “gods need followers”, “you can ascend to godhood” and “gods are unknowable”.

Reply to opening post. I’m NOT moving on from 5e, not unless one of my players actually buys the 1D&D rulebooks for me.

Dark Sun Every building in the city-state of Nibenay is required by law to be absolutely covered in stone carvings. One of the more disturbing rumors among elf-tribes is that the sorcerer-king of Nibenay is actually a basilisk who is slowly turning the population of his city into stone…

Mystara (2nd favorite) The dwarves of Rockhome can build a device called a Dimensional Launcher. It’s a steam-powered machine that can transport people to and from other planes of existence and even other worlds of the Material Plane.

Dark Sun (favorite setting) Both Earth Drakes and Rampagers have a seemingly pathological hatred of man made structures and will go out of their way to destroy them purely for the lols. Next time, Mystara…

I think he was referring to the Dragonmarked Houses. Going on missions to investigate or undermine them, to be exact.
