Huh! I must have missed it.

At this point, I personally have fewer questions and more torches and pitchforks.

I don't disagree, but I don't think there exists a world where they didn't issue something new for the 50th anniversary of the game.

I didn’t voice it on the board, but I had been wondering for the last few days if LegalEagle would weigh in. A ‘mainstream’, outside-of-the-hobby YouTuber talking about the OGL would be a pretty big deal. Edit: could be a big deal.

LegalEagle has 2.7m subscribers on youtube - Devin doing a video on the OGL would get it in front of an awful lot of eyeballs.

As someone else pointed out, WotC may be perfectly happy with a bigger piece of a smaller pie.

As a fan of both Arcane Library and Dungeon Craft, I have to admit it's bewildering - not on their end, mind you, but - who thought this was a good idea? Having fewer people talking about your game?

This is where I first came across it, reddit, but cool to see Colville boosting it.

I wonder what’s going to happen between them and Paramount, if Paramount thinks that WotC scuttled the movies’ box office for them.

I suspect that’s going to be a very common sentiment.

Someone on Reddit recently pointed out that a lot of this is mirroring the events in '93/'94, when TSR tried to claim everything concerning D&D online was theirs, and pointed to the old rec.games.frp.dnd from the UseNet days. The flame wars were legendary. To my amusement, I noted that one of...

Given that Chris Perkins, Jeremy Crawford, James Wyatt et al. worked at Wizards through the 4e transition and it’s issues, I strongly suspect the divide isn’t in the D&D studio, but the D&D studio vs. other parts of Hasbro. I forget now where I read it, but I remember some freelancer commenting...

in fairness, I’ve been running a Black Hack game for five months - with some first time players - and everyone in the group refers to what we do once a week as ‘playing D&D’. We are a bunch of Olds, however.
