    WotC Announces OGL 1.1 -- Revised Terms, Royalties, and Annual Revenue Reporting

    See point #3 of the official Wotc statement: Point #3: Requires a creator badge on all 1.1 OGL products. This will have a HUGE impact on content creators, just like the d20 STL did. Previous creator badges , like the d20 trademark included with the D20 STL are controlled by Wotc, they can...

    The Peripheral 2022 (Spoilers)

    I agree that the first season does feel rushed at the end. Possibly in part to having so many details, and so many characters with good development, they probably could have used an extra four episodes to flesh it out more and give it time to develop a few plotlines further. Oh in case anyone...

    The OGL 1.1 is not an Open License

    Thank you, this will come in handy for the inevitable analysis of the new 1.1 upon release.

    The OGL 1.1 is not an Open License

    Thank you that is what I was referring to. That is why I was asking because similarities to the GSL should at least be a concern moving forward going into the official release. Right above the "OGL is not going away" part in wotc's statement are three bullet points: 1. Accept the terms and let...

    The OGL 1.1 is not an Open License

    While they do "basically" mean the same thing, context matters. I obviously would have gone with "not stand a chance" than the former, but that's me. Its ok though, I won't waste your time arguing semantics. I guess my questions can wait until the official 1.1 release.

    The OGL 1.1 is not an Open License

    That could be interpreted as disrespectful. You are free to disagree with anyones opinion as you want, but how about not being so dismissive?

    The OGL 1.1 is not an Open License

    Fair enough. However, to the best of my memory, back in this thread someone did a comparison with the legal language of the 4e GSL and compared it to the new 1.1 OGL and found several similarities. Update or not, there are at least similarities in the initial press release to language used in...

    The OGL 1.1 is not an Open License

    Well I try my best to be civil on the forums, and have some kind of mutual respect seeing as were all here for the same thing. I guess its too much to ask that you do the same?

    The OGL 1.1 is not an Open License

    I'm not arguing a case in court, and the OGL has never been tested in the court of law, either. I was asking a question, not proposing a legal argument. Other corporations have done similar things before with other "open" licenses that are not so open, but are presented as being open. Can I ask...

    The Peripheral 2022 (Spoilers)

    I enjoyed it too, particularly the attention to detail & the progression of technology. The local pharmacy and the local 3D printing shop fabricate everything locally, albeit at great cost to the customer (question: what exactly does the pharmacy charge for medication, if a single pill on the...

    Thank you for letting me know, I didn't get to read the book yet.

    The OGL 1.1 is not an Open License

    But we do have information from the press release that is very similar to the 4e GSL. That has already been pointed out previously in the thread. Yes we don't know the final wording yet, until the release in 2023, but their initial information is pointing towards a more restrictive license.

    The OGL 1.1 is not an Open License

    I'm not talking about what you can do with OGC, that has already been covered. Again, you are taking it at face value, they are currently using the name "1.1 OGL" to avoid comparisons to the failure that is the 4e GSL. If you look at the wording of the 1.1 OGL, it is very similar to the 4e...

    The Peripheral 2022 (Spoilers)

    So here's a trailer, but this thread contains spoilers (avoiding spoilers in my first post if you happen to drop by and don't know about the show). I recommend watching the first season before getting into the nitty gritty details. Honestly I think its probably a bit too complex for the...

    The OGL 1.1 is not an Open License

    Except you are taking it at face value, but just think about this for a second... Given the past history of the 4e GSL, and the failure of 4th edition, do you really think they would outright state that this is a new restrictive GSL license? They are using the framing of the old OGL, combined...

    The OGL 1.1 is not an Open License

    There is a distinct difference between versions of a license and new products. I don't really get what you are saying here.

    The OGL 1.1 is not an Open License

    The blog post is misinterpreting the OGL, IMO, because it is interpreting the 1.1 OGL as an "update" to the OGL rather than a replacement like the 4e GSL. I think people are getting hung on the "OGL" and "open" words in the title of the 1.1 OGL, but it is anything but open, and its function is...

    Thank you for posting this, great quote from Ryan Dancey.

    The OGL 1.1 is not an Open License

    I posted that same quote from the wotc OGL FAQ, but people still seem to think the OGL is somehow going away. The disinformation is staggering. Thanks to all the youtubers passing on misinformation as fact for clicks for the current state of things.
