"partially due to the fact that WotC has recently downsized the D&D Beyond support team." I thought they just hired 350 additional employees for the VTT?

This comment has lost any context to the events that led us here: Wotc rank & file employee's didn't hear about the new OGL until the 11th of January. This was a comparmentalized corporate decision. Ryan Dancey has even said that wotc employees are trying to effect positive change from within...

the "grace period" is carefully worded to only permit 1.0a material that would be approved by the new 2.0, that's neither a grace period nor an approval to continue with the 1.0a.

Absolutely, everyone and anyone can play whatever they want to, however they want. I was just addressing the net effect of having creators in the ecosystem, the more the merrier as they say.

Griffon's Saddlebag confirmed that the leaked 1.1 was not a draft, and had attached contracts. If the old 1.0a is still being deauthorized, and the new license in not 100% open (like Paizo's upcoming OCR or Project Black Flag), its pretty much a non-starter for most 3pp's. Many of the biggest...

Its not just about new material, its about the effect of network externalities. The massive amount of 3pp content for dnd helped to spurn the continued evolution of the game, including improving mechanics, healthy competition, and a networked community that all spoke the same "programming"...

Thank you to paizo for some good news today. I needed some considering its been a really hard week.

Thanks for blocking me and not allowing a reasonable response. Is it wrong to advocate for people who are suffering right now???

Seriously? I said: please allow those who it does effect to have a chance at doing something thats with a please at the front of the sentence. Up until now, I have shown respect and consideration for every member of this forum, even people that disagree with me from time to time, why don't...

If you didn't want to say it, then why did you? You have essentially just confirmed that you have a less than positive opinion of Ryan Dancey, what are you doing in this thread? This may not affect you, but please allow those who it does effect to have a chance at doing something, even a...

I was watching twitch live, it said stream starting soon, then it ended without a word.

Awesome having a petition by Ryan Dancey himself. Another petition, currently with the highest number is the #Opendnd petition with 54,700 signatures.

Yeah they are going to word it very carefully I suspect.

Ryan Dancey covered some of this yesterday in his interview on Roll for Combat. Hasbro reorganized after taking over, organizing by priotitizing the "big" IP's together, and giving no priority to brands that made under 50 million annually (this included d&d). D&D, now making more and more...

If this is true their upcoming announcement should confirm it if they say they are delaying the 1.1 OGL but still releasing it anyway.

“People are suspicious. Creative people are very suspicious.” -Ryan Dancey

And now try capturing that lightning in a bottle a second time. 20 years of goodwill fizzled in an instant.

I'm waiting in another browser window for the upcoming roll for combat stream, it says live in 2 hours. Announcement does say 3pm EST, but it could be starting early to get ahead of the announcement.

The open gaming community is a wonderful thing. Its preservation is essential to the health of gaming going forward.

The open dnd petition is now at over 54,000 signatures. Thank to everyone who signed! An official statement due in two hours, this should be interesting.
