So first off, let me say that I don't want the OGL 1.0(a) going anywhere. However, the sad reality is that we may not be able to stop that happening, and maybe the best we can do is negotiate the best version of a post-1.0(a) license we can get. With that in mind, here's my proposal for a...

Linda Codega asked them a question about contracts and the PR person shut it down.

Fir Bolgs are creatures from Celtic mythology.

I am genuinely curious. Don't have a dog in this race and zero legal background. WotC has show they don't act in good faith, so if there's a way to creatively interpret the language here they will likely try it sooner or later.

Is this more or less ironclad than the term "authorized"?

MN is probably the best campaign they've done.

Is there any reason Wizards couldn't go "we hold this license invalid"?

Would likely be a CC license at this point but yeah. Honestly the best case scenario that isn't pie in the sky is all the mechanics under CC-BY, with a big fat "irrevocable and perpetual", IP under a new OGL without any traps or poison pills, and a new System Trademark License or equivalent...

Runs the gamut from "We're all silly and so is the world" to "humor is mostly OOC" depending on the game.

The non-martial e-classes were fine. The Mage was even a better wizard. And Essentials added a lot of great feats and items.

They already did for me, in 2008. They just need to release it from its GSL prison.

They'd only invite Ernie as a ruse to serve him a subpoena.

The license hasn't been deauthorized so there's nothing to go to court over yet.

Really the best way to make them back down would be a letter from the FSF threatening to deauthorize them back to the Stone Age if they go through with their naughty word.

Really, their best bet at this point is to just release a 1.0b with the word "irrevocable," ask for suggestions on how to make sure it's extra-super-duper-for-realsies-this-time set in stone, and then make 6e actually significantly different with a GSL 2.0.

How very on-brand. Did you post it in red text?

That loooooong awkward pause with hands over the mouth lol

Well, best of luck with your Dark Road cinematic universe. I hope you can get enough grounded non-Hollywood people involved to make it a success.

That's my feeling.
