You can include stuff from a CC BY released document within an OGL document. The former doesn’t exclude the latter. You can’t, however go the other way. You can’t release OGL material under a CC BY since the OGL is more restrictive. That’s why the CC BY is a better license for downstream...

Yay! it’s worth learning how CC works. CC BY is much more flexible than the OGL for downstream producers.

On the topic of the centralization around D&D, I think its just the reality of the industry but that's ok for the most part as long as WOTC continues to make good Ulysses pacts around their products and the support for the industry. A 5.2 SRD is a good pact. Support for stand-alone VTTs like...

I would love to see continued support for in-person and online support from many different RPG companies. I love the incredible variety of RPG products and full systems we see that cover so many ideas. I want to see more people experiment with systems and try out new things. I'd love to see...

@LaTia J First, thank you so much for coming to EN World to share your info with those of us who don't spend a lot of time on other social media platforms! I really appreciate it. For the PHB errata, it would be more useful to list which creatures were changed between the PHB and MM so we don't...

WOTC just released the first Errata for the D&D 2024 Player's Handbook: https://www.dndbeyond.com/changelog#2024CoreRulesErrata and in PDF! https://media.dndbeyond.com/compendium-images/errata/PHB-24/PHB-2024_v1.pdf https://media.dndbeyond.com/compendium-images/errata/DMG-24/DMG-24_v1.pdf...

Our book was full color and very reasonable. I didn't know the Monster Overhaul was with them! Interesting!

They just do books but I've absolutely loved working with Friesens. They're family owned, 100 year old company who produces huge quantities of books. Very professional. Good prices. I'm not sure its any sort of solution for EN World but I love them.

We actually tried to drop-ship books from our Canadian printer to our Canadian customers and it was more expensive than shipping books to our NA fulfillment company who then sent them back to Canada.

There is a bit of the Starbucks problem here. People are willing to pay $6 for Starbucks because they know Starbucks. If you crash your black van into a wall in front of someone, leap out wearing your ski-mask, and demand they pay you $6 for your coffee, they're likely to mace you and run away...

I would feel better about both of those approachs than I feel now but there's still a lot to be managed like focusing on using up a lot less power.

I feel different about it when the model is released to the world instead of hidden in a tech bro company trying to scam investors.

I would. They further exasperate income inequality They trick bosses into believing they can fire people They use tons of power and water They continue to evoke a false sense of accuracy They displace human work with cheap trash They artificially inflate stock valuations for publicly traded...

who knows. I wouldn't be surprised if it all collapses but we have a bunch of open LLMs floating around we can use for little things like formatting tables and writing mundane code we don't feel like writing ourselves.

Asking permission also would have been nice.

I wonder what they'd call it if I went and took OpenAI's fancy new model and hosted it on Github. Personally, I'm less concerned about models released in the open than the big commercial models. "OpenAI" has three lies in six characters. It's not open. It's not artificial (its based on human...

This is just one source -- that bigass pile of published books -- there's a lot of stuff beyond this.

The Atlantic had a lookup. My books were there. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2025/03/search-libgen-data-set/682094/

So let’s try to fix that problem.

I want my two dollars. Either my material is valuable to LLMs and thus I should be compensated, or it’s not useful and they shouldn’t get a 400 billion valuation. Clearly the material they used for training is valuable or their company wouldn’t be worth spit. I release all of my articles under...
