    Kyle Brink (D&D Exec Producer) On OGL Controversy & One D&D (Summary)

    I don't think his products are published under the OGL. Terrible guy. Not OGL related.

    Kyle Brink (D&D Exec Producer) On OGL Controversy & One D&D (Summary)

    The badly stolen WB Cartoons disclaimer that looks like an intern wrote it? Does not say anything about being a hate product. And they are not even OGL.

    Kyle Brink (D&D Exec Producer) On OGL Controversy & One D&D (Summary)

    I have never had anyone give me a good example of any OGL hate product. Occassionally I will see someone that people feel has problematic views (people's milage varies on that), but not an actual product. So I have heavily discounted such claims as it is all based on who the people are vs. the...

    Kyle Brink (D&D Exec Producer) On OGL Controversy & One D&D (Summary)

    Not an OGL product. Keeps being brought up as an example but they never were OGL and the issue was not from the OGL.

    Kyle Brink (D&D Exec Producer) On OGL Controversy & One D&D (Summary)

    So it has not happened in 23 years, the OGL forbids using the D&D branding, and somehow some executive is worried about it? Compared to many members of the dedvelopment team that are quite public on social media about this topic? OK, it is a matter of opinion unless you were there and know who...

    Kyle Brink (D&D Exec Producer) On OGL Controversy & One D&D (Summary)

    The hate part is the weakest argument as it is so hard to find any examples of OGL “hate” products. As I have noted over and over, Drivethru already polices this pretty hard and I can’t imagine any mainstream store carrying such an item. The CC license makes this worse as the OGL forbids...

    Kyle Brink (D&D Exec Producer) On OGL Controversy & One D&D (Summary)

    This is like HR 101 today. I think when the Orion Black situation blew up, HQ finally sent / ensured that there was a responsible HR practice. Hard to applaud a company the size of Hasbro for doing something that has been standard practice for at least a decade, but at least they changed. This...

    Kyle Brink (D&D Exec Producer) On OGL Controversy & One D&D (Summary)

    I don’t think that blocking is wrong. I was not surprised because I felt they were avoiding what they posted and it is an avoidance mechanism. I think it would have been easier to edit their original post and say, “oops, I missed what you were saying” but everyone can block whoever they want...

    Kyle Brink (D&D Exec Producer) On OGL Controversy & One D&D (Summary)

    And then he ran away via blocking me. Not surprised.

    Kyle Brink (D&D Exec Producer) On OGL Controversy & One D&D (Summary)

    You seem to avoid owning up to your errors. I did not literally say leaving the hobby. I did not use the word hobby in my post. You offer a half hearted, well, maybe I can see what you mean but it is in a whole different paragraph you wrote. What really happened is that you had some point to...

    Kyle Brink (D&D Exec Producer) On OGL Controversy & One D&D (Summary)

    You did it again. You did not apologize to me. Look up in this thread. Nothing. I received zero notifications that you replied to me other than your outright lie that I literally said leave the hobby when I did not even use the word hobby which breaks literally. I did not say leave the hobby. I...

    Kyle Brink (D&D Exec Producer) On OGL Controversy & One D&D (Summary)

    Sure you can. You can say that someone literally said leave the hobby when the word hobby is not in the reply you quoted as the start to a straw person argument.

    Kyle Brink (D&D Exec Producer) On OGL Controversy & One D&D (Summary)

    And I did not say that he said they should leave the hobby. If you are going to build a straw person about what I said, maybe read what I said. And don’t assume that I did not watch the video, it was too long an answer and the statement being argued about was really late in the answer, but I...

    Kyle Brink (D&D Exec Producer) On OGL Controversy & One D&D (Summary)

    The whole assumption that one group has to leave (and that it is so good that they do that he cannot wait until they do) is bad when you can simply grow your business and grow the industry and that creates new positions for others to take is just as valid. Pretty arrogant to assume that WoTC in...

    WotC Wizard's Future Plans Has 3 Big Problems: Ft. The Professor of Tolarion Community College

    Innovation does not always lead to success. We see the survivors in nature but not all the failures as they die out. I find the books over the past few years to lack coherence. Writer teams are too large and editing and design direction not strong enough. Strixhaven was not even that...

    WotC Wizard's Future Plans Has 3 Big Problems: Ft. The Professor of Tolarion Community College

    That creator has said and shown he has zero idea about the business or working in an office side of the hobby is like. So his speculation is worthless here. I think the quality of adventure paths (the big book with a series of encounters/story) has steadily decreased. Teams are too big and...

    D&D 5E (2024) RPG Evolution: Where Are the Board Gamers?

    You can find surveys about hours spent gaming by generation, but those are very focused on computer / mobile / console gamers. It gets harder and harder to find specifics about things like D&D. I started in the early 80’s. By the end of the 80’s, it is not a stretch to find people in HS in the...
