Hi, Comments and questions. Not as a lawyer ... just doing my best to parse through the statements. I'm finding the license text to be rather irksome. The text seems, to me, to be very "muddy". Really, a license that strives to be clear and concise should be ... clear and concise. Reliance...

“nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, sub-licensable, royalty-free license to use that content for any purpose.” Bold added by me. Setting “that content” to mean content released under the OGL. Would the uses be subject to the same limitations imposed by the OGL? That is, would...

Additional text omitted. My problem is how the modification is stated. I’m not seeing how a simple assertion of fact, which may or may not be true, has any meaning in a contract. I can imagine wordings that might work. I don’t see the simple assertion doing anything. TomB

So, I’m finding the text re: Revoking the prior license to be confusing. The problem that I’m having is the appearance of a factual declaration in a license agreement. Then I have two problems. First, the contents of the license are conditional. Would that, bizarrely, make the...

What are folks thoughts on what is encompassed by “static electronic files (like epubs and PDFs). “First, we’re making sure that OGL 1.1 is clear about what it covers and what it doesn’t. OGL 1.1 makes clear it only covers material created for use in or as TTRPGs, and those materials are only...

Eh, what difference does AI make? Whether a piece of art is transformative or not doesn’t rely on how the art was produced. As far as ownership, for now, an AI is no different than any other tool used by a person. The person has ownership. TomB

So, i’m getting a different read of this than seems prevalent: 9. Updating the License: Wizards or its designated Agents may publish updated versions of this License. You may use any authorized version of this License to copy, modify and distribute any Open Game Content originally distributed...

So, I’m enjoying this, and found the prison break exciting. However, I’m needing a lot of suspension of disbelief. The prison design is a huge fail. Weapons adjacent to prisoners? Doors that don’t require external release? Key components in prisoner accessible areas? I guess maybe the...

If their enslave ability were innate, and in use from birth, that seems to impact a Neogi's outlook: A Neogi would tend to view other beings as extensions of themself, not as independent beings. (Having the Neogi consider others as property seems a coarse way of describing the Neogi, but it is...

A nit: Taking the door off its hinges should be a disable device roll, with disadvantage if no tools are available. I'd say that's a part of a thief's shtick, although, other classes should probably be able to do this, too. A door which is designed to be secure ought not to be easily disabled...

In the "Galaxy Cluster SMACS 0723" view ... I'm noticing a number of galaxies (I presume) which are at best barely visible in the Hubble image. For example, there are a number of these which are prominent in the JWST image in the upper right hand corner. Does anyone have additional information...

They patch that up by remarking that every time Pike saves himself Spock dies. Apparently the Klingon monks looked over such futures. Tom B

I've found that mechanics are missing or just not your friend: Hostility can break out without the party having any time to assess their foes. Spending time to assess yields, what? The game doesn't have good tools for PCs to evaluate relative power levels. Or, doesn't convey aggression...

Episode 6 seems to be a retelling of “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas”, by Ursula K. Le Guin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ones_Who_Walk_Away_from_Omelas This is a big idea story, and the series is gutsy for presenting it. The story is one of my favorites. The story asks a deep...

Additional text omitted. I dunno. I'd change the focus onto those who are creating impediments. The problem is not Delaney’s skin color; the problem is the prejudice of other people. But, I don't know if this is worth pointing out. Any successful artist had many challenges to overcome...

As a plot point, the surprise attack works. But the details are a little off. The crew should have known they were vulnerable when the docking bridge was deployed, and should have been hustling to transship the refugees. That is in particular because of the attack on the colony. This seems a...

That seemed to be guiding Obi back to core value of empathy and providing assistance to those in need. That these moments were next to each seemed very deliberate. I thought this was both subtle — no force ghosts here! —and blatant. TomB

That's a ... problematic ... usage. Using skin color as a way of distinguishing people suggests a categorical difference based on skin color. This is (in my opinion) not a useful way of thinking. I don't think that such a way of distinguishing people is useful except in the very specific...

Can someone say for what purpose the word was used? Why was Delaney's skin color relevant? After reflection, I'm finding that I care more about the answer to this question than to which particular word was used. Do we know the full circumstances of what happened? Is it possible that other...

(Additional text omitted.) I think Avengers Endgame works stand-alone, actually, pretty well. A part of that is due to the lengthy build-up, where the effects of the snap are both described and shown quite clearly. I think this works better for AE than it does for MoM because the primary...
