    D&D Beyond Twitter Account says OGL will be addressed soon

    Or if not, define how they can. Suboptimal, but clarification is a good thing.

    Battlezoo Shares The OGL v1.1

    I will admit, and perhaps it's my age, I thought of that as classist moreso than sexist. Glad someone made this mistake for me to learn from. :)

    OGL: What Are The Publishers Saying [UPDATED]

    Correct. By Palladium. It's why Magic got shuffled off to a different entity for a spell. They also used a system agnostic stats system in their gaming magazine.

    OGL: What Are The Publishers Saying [UPDATED]

    These are not mutually exclusive concepts.

    OGL: What Are The Publishers Saying [UPDATED]

    I've seen a number of publishers who I've had content from RPGNow through DriveThru send me "Going out of OGL" sale notices.

    That may have been on the mailing lists.

    Hello, I am lawyer with a PSA: almost everyone is wrong about the OGL and SRD. Clearing up confusion.

    WotC Ex D&D Beyond Staffers Criticize Relationship With WotC

    The problem here is that brand owners frequently do not see any type of third-party license as enhancing their brand. They think their brand always does the heavy lifting. D&D made E.T.! D&D made Stranger Things! They do not seem to understand that many of these things are brand enhancers...

    WotC Ex D&D Beyond Staffers Criticize Relationship With WotC

    It's not that they forget. Too many members of C level aren't in it for the marathon, so you end up with a series of never-ending sprints as headcount rolls over and Golden parachutes deploy.

    New OGL - what would be acceptable? (+)

    I'm gonna go a little left of what I've seen so far here. Properly define irrevocable to mean that even if the source document ( SRD, etc ) is removed from availability due to license revocation for particular source material it may continue to be used in existing and (internal and external)...

    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    My mind remembers Worlds without Number and all coming from the period before everything was OSR when we were using the term retroclone (like 4C) and there seemed to be a lot less cranky-old gatekeeper problems with that base. Perhaps I am wrong/optimistic there. :)

    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    There is also a bit of your kids bragging about which editions of Shadowrun, etc. you own. :)

    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    That's my memory of their process. So it's more akin to aggregated movie review scores than ticket sales...
